Medical Thinking? What do we know?

A Review Meeting at UCL, 22-23 June 2006. As governments around the world now recognize that medical error is a major cause of mortality and morbidity, and clinical excellence is a powerful driver of public support, it seems appropriate to review the theoretical, scientific and practical aspects of medical thinking, drawing on insights from the many fields where it has been studied. The trigger for the meeting is the 20th anniversary of the publication of Professor Steven Schwartz's review monograph 'Medical Thinking'. The main goals of the meeting are to take stock of this highly interdisciplinary field and to contribute to updating Professor Schwartz's work. The international line-up of invited speakers includes Vimla Patel, Clare Harries, Phil Dawid, Jeremy Wyatt, Chris McManus, Alastair Gale, Nigel Harvey, Enrico Coiera, Sue Osbourn, Nick Sevdalis, Sanjay Modgil, David Glasspool, Paul Taylor, John Fox and Ted Shortliffe. Organised by Cancer Research UK, University College London, OpenClinical and the London Judgment and Decision Making Group.
