Healthcare systems worldwide face difficult ethical decisions about cost-effectiveness and resource allocation in a financially constrained environment. How are those decisions made, can personal narratives affect the decision-making process, and if they can, would this be ethical?

Intertwining Jamie Hale’s award-winning play, ‘Quality of Life is Not a Measurable Outcome’ with live audience polling, this project aims to explore the tension between personal and impersonal perspectives and directly interrogate how an individual narrative shifts the framework for reflection and discussion.
