Do you have an interest in healthcare policy or are you a Humanities scholar doing or considering policy-relevant work? Come to this open coffee morning/session to exchange ideas and perspectives with Professor Stephen Bergman (New York University) and Professor Joshua Hordern of the Healthcare Values Partnership at Oxford University as well as others.
