During a conference in 2000, a number of participants realised they shared a common interest, approach and concern about Sickness and Health in the 21st Century. From this initial encounter and subsequent discussions the concept for an International Conference dealing with the critical scholarship of power, practice and ethics in healthcare was born. From a handful of like-minded individuals, and via two international conferences, the community has grown to now include hundreds.
