During this session, Dr Andrew Larner, Consultant Neurologist, Liverpool, will discuss the retrospective neurological diagnosis: the ontological, the epistemic and the ethical. Mr Francis Wells, Consultant Cardiac Surgeon, Oxford, will present the Representations of disease in medieval and early modern European art and literature.
Participants will be able to:
