Our keynote speaker this year, David Humphries, will be presenting 'Thinking about thinking'.

This presentation is an examination of the cognitive biases that influence our everyday clinical decision making. It will be narrative rather than literature driven and is aimed at raising awareness about the tricks our brains play on us routinely.
