The Leuven Centre for Health Humanities (LCH²) is proud to present the 2023-2024 edition of its annual lecture series. This year’s focus is on trust in medicine. In medicine and psychology, trust is of the essence. Patients rely on doctors to get better; doctors rely on patients to stick to their treatment plan; and both of them rely on science and the efficacy of its treatments and technology. In recent years, however, the public’s trust in doctors and their technology seems to be crumbling, at least in some parts of the world. What is going on here?

The speakers of this year’s LCH² lecture series discuss the many shades of trust in a variety of medical and psychological contexts and disciplines, including end-of-life care, gynaecology, psychiatry, audiology, and bio-statistics. In doing so, they draw on the rich tool box of the humanities, such as history, philosophy, and the arts. Join us online and on campus, at KU Leuven, for a series of wonderful health humanities talks about trust in medicine.
