The seminar will also discuss research finding sports doctors have limited control over their work environment due to pressures from the commercialization of sports that can threaten their medical professionalism.

    Bioethics Seminar

    Professionalism and
    commercialism: medicine, sport,
    and money
    Dr Lynley Anderson,
    Bioethics Centre, DSM
    and
    Professor Steve Jackson,
    Physical Education Department
    In 2008 a sports doctor was suspended by the GMC for cutting the inside of a rugby
    player’s mouth to conceal a breach of sporting rules. Far from being a reckless or
    random event, we argue that the doctor was responding to ubiquitous pressures that
    exist within elite and professional sport. Research in sports medicine in NZ suggest
    that sports doctors have limited control over their work environment, pressure from
    the commercial interests of sport, competing obligations, and may, as a result, find
    their medical professionalism threatened.
