Summary

The Centre for Islam and Medicine is a research institute addressing questions at the interface of religion and science, particularly in the context of biomedicine and healthcare.

Description

As an introduction, the CIM (Centre for Islam and Medicine) is a project which launched on 1st March 2014 in partnership with the Cambridge Muslim College. The aim is to deliver a sustainable stream of collaborative, quality research and educational resources on Islam and Medicine, rooted firmly in the Islamic scholarly perspective, that enriches the understanding of healthcare providers, Muslim scholars and the general public, and informs policy decisions. To do this, we hope to establish an institution in the West to house the discussions taking place on issues of Medical ethics and to develop our own internal research on key ethical issues.

The main thrust of our work has focused around developing practical guidelines/summaries on the most common ethical issues faced in medicine. These were developed into 13 subject areas which we have detailed on our website. Our vision is to develop initial summaries of what scholars have traditionally said on each of these issues, after which we can scrutinise each of these legal rulings and understand them in a modern context. More information can be found at www.thecim.org.uk and a video of our scholars support can be seen below.

Opportunities to get involved

The CIM believes in working alongside stakeholders who inform, work in, support, or are at the receiving end of services in the healthcare setting. We value support and advice from potential partners to carry our our work and explore new possibilities, and welcome volunteers who can offer their time, knowledge and expertise to help move our work forward. For further information, please contact us at info@thecim.org.uk or call 07714 947 830.
