Reset Ethics - the moral harm project

Working with hospital-based staff wellbeing professionals to address moral distress and moral injury amongst healthcare staff was a one-year project funded by the UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council (AH/Y001877/1).

This project ran from March 2024 to March 2025. Please visit the Resources page to see the resources produced from the project.

The Reset: Moral Harm project developed findings from the Reset Ethics project, ‘When pandemic and everyday ethics collide: supporting ethical decision-making in maternity care and paediatrics during the Covid-19 pandemic.’ Between September, 2020 and September, 2021, in which the Reset Ethics team worked with members of the public, and healthcare professionals in maternity and paediatric services at six NHS Trusts across England.

The projects are led by Professor Lucy Frith.
