Le Pub Scientifique #9 Roger Kerry -"How evidence based medicine works...Or doesn't"
Updated: Sep 17, 2019
Le Pub Scientifique started in London 2012 as a regular meeting place for clinicians, therapists and (really) anyone working in the area of complex pain to come together and share ideas. It was inspired by the classic Pat Wall quote:
“Any discussion of work after 6pm can be done if it is outside the clinic/lab and with a drink in hand” !
We are continuing this tradition to Amsterdam and invite you to come talk with us, think with us and drink with us!
Le Pub #9 will be your chance to meet and discuss with Roger. The title does gives you an idea what to expect. "How evidence based medicine works...Or doesn't". It is going to be a though provocative night, that's for sure.
