Lecture: Atui Gawande, MD (360G-Wellcome-091811_Z_10_Z)

£5,000

To sponsor lecture by distinguished surgeon, author, health-care columnist The lecture is to inaugurate a new UCL initiative (chaired by the applicant) for the launching of a new Institute for Science Medicine and Society. The urgency of the application is the result of Dr. Gawande's last-minute agreement to speak on January 2?'" in London. As the inaugural Beacon Fellow for Public Engagement (Wellcome Trust and UK funding agencies supported), it is my hope (and the intention of our Science, medicine, and Society Advisory Group) that we will be able to identify new and emerging issues of public import in the areas of Science. Medicine, and Society, and to function as a catalyst for public awareness and debate around those issues. (see below). The Fellowship is designed to bridge the gap between academic research, social awareness, and public policy as it relates to science, medicine, and society, and human wellbeing. Our wish is that the proposed meeting will stimulate a number of events around themes of common concern.
