We bring practitioners, scholars, patients, caregivers, and communities together to learn from real cases, build capacity, and make what we learn available to others.

A clinician navigating disagreement about care.
A chaplain supporting a family at the end of life.
A patient living with the consequences of a medical decision.
A researcher deciding how participants should shape a study.
A psychedelic practitioner working with questions of vulnerability, authority, and consent.
A designer deciding how a clinical system should behave.
Each encounters dimensions of bioethical questions that can be difficult to see from somewhere else. BPG creates places for that exchange to happen.
The clearest way in is a gathering. Four are coming up:
Upcoming gatheringsThe evolving role of design in bioethics — a dinner at Hard Problems, London. Seats are limited; bring a real question, tension, or decision from your own work.
Request a seat →Where design meets bioethics — designers and bioethicists often shape the same outcomes without sitting at the same table. Bring a real question, tension, or decision from your own work.
Join the conversation →When user feedback becomes embedded in governance — for people who build, fund, govern, or depend on research infrastructure.
Join the conversation →An AI model can work for one patient yet fail the community it enters. Bring a real decision, experience, or tension from your own work.
Join the conversation →Over time, we hope BPG becomes infrastructure for a wider community of practitioners and scholars — a place to bring hard questions, build knowledge from practice, and put it back into the field.
This work is intentionally being built through participation.
If you are a practitioner, scholar, patient, caregiver, community member, organization, or funder interested in contributing to it, we'd like to hear from you.
Bioethical questions don't belong to one profession or setting. BPG brings together the people who each hold part of the knowledge.
The goal is not to eliminate disagreement or produce a single method for making ethical decisions. It is to get better at seeing what is at stake, understanding different forms of knowledge and experience, making choices deliberately, and learning from what happens next.

Meag Doherty is a strategist, researcher, designer, and bioethicist who has spent 15 years working across health, science, technology, and government.
She founded Bioethics Practice Group so she would stop sitting alone with these questions as a technologist.
BPG is a place to work through them with practitioners, scholars, patients, caregivers, and communities — not a single methodology or discipline, but a community of people learning from practice together.
