Waldegrave School Autumn Magazine 2023

Our A Level Science students had the privilege of attending a thought-provoking talk by the distinguished Professor David Holt who has more than 50 years’ experience in laboratory medicine. He established an embedded company within St George’s, University of London, providing specialist laboratory services for the measurement of drugs and naturally occurring compounds. The lecture delved into the intricate world of laboratory medicine and drug development, shedding light on the ethical quandaries that often arise in the field. Professor Holt’s insights were invaluable, providing our students with a deep understanding of the ethical conundrums inherent in scientific progress and their far-reaching impact on legal protocols. The experience left our students with a richer, more profound perspective on the ever- evolving world of science and ethics.

This enlightening lecture not only broadened our students’ horizons but also opened a gateway to exploring their own future roles in the field of science and medicine. The students were engaged participants in a conversation that encouraged them to contemplate the ethical dimensions of their future careers.
