"I know nothing..." Hugh Montgomery - Ernest Henry Starling Plenary Lecture | EBPOM 2022
Episode description
"We need to stop accepting the tenants we've all been given throughout our careers and accept that maybe we've been misinformed and maybe we've misinformed ourselves and have a bit of humility and start again"
The Ernest Henry Starling Plenary Lecture; a stand out moment from EBPOM 2022, London.
