Biography

Professor Deirdre Madden has research interests and publications primarily in the area of medical/health law and ethics. She has a Master’s degree on surrogate motherhood and a PhD on the Law relating to Assisted Reproduction. She was called to the Bar of Ireland in 1989. Her most recent books include Medicine, Ethics and the Law (3rd ed, Bloomsbury 2016 currently under revision) and Medical Law (4th ed. Kluwer 2019, 5th ed 2022 forthcoming). Professor Madden was author of the Report on Post-Mortem Practice and Procedure (2005) and Chairperson of the Commission on Patient Safety and Quality Assurance which published its Report in July 2008.

Throughout her career, Professor Madden has been an active member of numerous national committees, expert working groups and regulatory bodies in the areas of bioethics, patient safety, and healthcare regulation such as the Medical Council (where she was also Chair of the Ethics Committee for 7 years), the Health and Social Care Professionals Council (where she was Chair of the Professional Practice Advisory Committee), the South/South West Hospital Group, and the Board of the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA). She was also a member of the Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction (where she was Chair of the Legal Sub-Group, and the Donor Programmes and Surrogacy Sub-Group), the National Patient Safety Advisory Group, the Board of the National Office of Clinical Audit (NOCA), the National Advisory Committee on Bioethics, the Expert Group on the Implementation of the ABC v Ireland judgement on abortion, and the Expert Advisory Group to the Citizen’s Assembly on the 8th Amendment to the Constitution.
Professor Madden chaired both the National Consent Advisory Group and the National Assisted Decision-Making Steering Group for the HSE. She provided expert ethical analysis and commentary to HIQA on several of their Health Technology Assessment reports from 2009-2017 on public health issues ranging from cancer screening, prion filtration, public access defibrillation, vaccination programmes and smoking cessation interventions. She has been invited to give evidence to both the Oireachtas Health Committee and the Justice Committee and in 2017 was appointed by the Minister for Health as a member of an Independent Review Group looking at the role‎ of voluntary organisations in health and social care, with a focus on religious and faith-based organisations. In 2019 Professor Madden was appointed Deputy Chair of the Board of the Health Service Executive for a five-year term.

In addition to her participation as Ethics Advisor in several European Commission funded research projects, Professor Madden has been an Expert Reviewer on ethics for the European Commission since 2003; continues to be a member of the Research Ethics Committee for the National Longitudinal Study of Children in Ireland since its inception; was consultant for the National Healthcare Regulatory Authority in Bahrain; member of the National Council of the Forum on End-of-Life; and an elected Fellow of the Hastings Centre in the United States. She has been a Visiting Professor at Colby College, Maine USA, St Louis University, Missouri, the University of Leicester and the University of Sydney.
