We welcome our first guest from the United States - Professor Dave Slawson. Dr Slawson currently serves as the Chair of Family medicines for Atrium Health Carolinas medicines Center and is a Professor of Family Medicines with the University of North Carolina amongst many other positions. He is an international lecturer in evidenced-informed decision making and Information Mastery.
We chat to Dave about the concept of Information Mastery, and his trip to Cardiff in 2005. We talk about the 5 harms of overdiagnosis, sustainability, clinical jazz and the time Jamie met Captain Spock.
