Abstract
Healthcare delivery in the UK faces many problems which often raise questions of an ethical nature. In general, the only access to any ethics 'education' available to the public is through media commentary, television soaps and dramas. These commentaries may range from high quality to sensationalist; rather than educate they merely worry and confuse the layperson. This article proposes that the extensive ethical expertise found within the NHS (National Health Service) and the universities that educate its staff should be harnessed in the form of a National Healthcare Ethics Week based on the existing, very successful British National Science Weeks, and the Bioethics Weeks run in Alberta, Canada, to enhance public understanding of ethical issues related to health and wellbeing. The benefits of increased public understanding of healthcare ethics issues could range from improving public responsibility towards the NHS, its staff and resources, encouraging people to think about careers in healthcare, improving partnerships in care between patient, family and healthcare providers and developing greater recognition of the impact of religious and cultural beliefs upon healthcare. Participating in a National Healthcare Ethics Week could help staff 'make a difference' and can be envisaged as the type of personal and professional development that helps attract and retain staff within an organisation. At the moment, the media has appointed itself both public educator and watchdog. A National Healthcare Ethics Week would allow the NHS to take the lead in public healthcare ethics education.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
