John Gill will talk in his lecture about “Understanding and communicating risk of rare but serious health complications – an example from living kidney donation".
Communication between health care professionals and patients is key. To enable patients to make informed decisions, health care professionals need to understand the meaning and implications of “risk”. In his lecture John Gill aims to combine the two perspectives of clinical expertise and methodological understanding.
