Medicine: The Need for a New Paradigm

David Healy

Health and how to deliver medical services is a central topic that continues to polarise both experts and the general public. And from doctors claiming knowledge they don't have, to pharmaceutical giants co-opting academic opinion, our relationship with medicine is fraught with difficulty. Join David Healy, a world-leading Professor of Psychiatry, as he highlights how 'evidence-based medicine' has led to unscientific medical practice and the need to shift to a new paradigm.

Part 1: The Medicine Mistake Is 'evidence based medicine' real or just marketing hype? Have we surrendered control of our lives to medical professionals and Big Pharma?

Part 2: A New Medical Approach What is 'relationship based medicine'? How could the judgments we and our doctors arrive at together be more scientific than clinical trials?
