Emerging technologies such as genomics and machine learning are being integrated into diagnostic processes. The increasing use of these technologies sits alongside rapidly expanding phenomena such as self-diagnosis, including direct-to-consumer testing; private digital health clinics; changing scope of practice in the healthcare workforce; and an increasing number of people receiving diagnoses of any kind. <br><br>These emerging technologies and practices raise significant ethical issues, but they also have implications for our conceptual understanding of diagnosis. This includes the construction of diagnosis as a category, and diagnosis as a process. A medical doctor is positioned as having a particular type of epistemic authority in the diagnostic process, but this is shifting. Drawing on speech act theory, this talk will examine the conditions under which a diagnostic process generates social legitimacy, and the functions of a formal diagnosis.<br></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="e2ma-block-outer" id="block_jhkpkhzj" width="100%" style="font-variant-caps: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><tbody><tr><td class="e2ma-wrapper e2ma-image-td" valign="top" style="padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="font-size: 12px;"><tbody><tr><td class="e2ma-holder" valign="top" style="padding: 10px 40px 5px;"><div class="e2ma-content-block"><h4 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-width: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(230, 70, 38);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">When</span></h4><div class="e2ma-p-div" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5;">15th May 2025<br>12:00–1:00 PM<br></div><h4 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-width: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: inherit; font-size-adjust: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(230, 70, 38);"><span class="e2ma-style" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Where</span></h4><div class="e2ma-p-div" style="font-size: 14px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1.5;">A27, Dean’s Boardroom/Conference Room, Level 2 (Main Entrance from Fisher Road, immediate left after you enter).
