Progressive property theory presents a recent corrective to atomistic theories that isolate property interests from the network of relations and obligations arising from the sociality of organized human society. The ‘social obligation norm’ that underpins progressive property theory stretches back to Aristotle’s philosophy of eudemonia (‘human flourishing’ or ‘living well’) written in the 4th Century BC. But property is not timeless; the world has changed.

Access to safe abortion is essential and time-sensitive healthcare. Limited access is a serious threat to the health and lives of people who experience unwanted pregnancy. The COVID-19 pandemic has exemplified the importance of remote care by telemedicine to enable access. However, many of the socio-structural factors that make access to abortion difficult for individuals are not unique to emergency circumstances and existed long before the pandemic.

Chronic pain is a huge health challenge. It is the biggest reason people in the UK see their GP. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognised it as a priority disease in 2019. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has also recently accepted that current chronic pain medications have limited long-term benefit, and in fact carry serious safety concerns. That is why reducing opioid prescriptions (for non-cancer pain) to zero by 2024 is a priority for Public Health England.
