Power, persuasion and policymaking
Tuesday 26 May
16:00 – 18:00
General Practice is both the powerhouse and risk sink of medicine – and as community evidenceologists, we are facing rising tide of non evidence based healthcare interventions that risk overdiagnosis and overtreatment, leading to worse health for our patients – both the over and under treated. How can we use our knowlege, skills and abilities to help redress the balance and make our work sustainable and equitable?
