The facilitator asked the panellists to discuss the topic “Which Way” and each speaker engaged and entertained the audience with their interpretation of the subject. Each gave an overview of their professional and personal life and discussed the importance of choices and decisions and their varied consequences in the areas of Medicine, Policing, Ethics and Societal response to behaviour The guests were generous with their time and enjoyed the encounter with the audience. Question time allowed the audience to be involved in the discussion and the panel endeavoured to respond to the questions asked using their own experiences to engage in a fascinating dialogue with the audience. The event ran very smoothly due to the effort and planning of the Forum committee. It is hoped that another Forum will be held in the near future.
