Len Doyal, a prominent figure in medical ethics, has passed away at the age of 80. He was a senior lecturer in medical ethics at St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospital Medical School, where he developed a highly acclaimed academic program integrating law, ethics, and clinical practice. Doyal was appointed professor of medical ethics and law in 1996 and became the first non-medical honorary consultant in a British hospital. He was a respected member of the British Medical Association's ethics committee, providing a crucial link between ethical principles and practical medical considerations. After retiring in 2000, Doyal's contributions to the field of medical ethics and his ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice left a lasting impact on the medical community.
