And with a bit more luck Simon Wessely might expand even further on his deficiencies in trials methodology. Can someone remind me: I think SW had...
Now that is very good news. So if my understanding is right, this will be a full parliamentary debate. I'm guessing that by being a Backbench...
Is this a clue? Presumably analysis of such large numbers would only be feasible using modern computing power?

Ditto.
Brilliant @Trish. Why is it that so many of AfME's endeavours seem rooted in soliciting influence and promoting their name, and so very little to...
I think this is very misleading, because these definitions relate to NICE's 2007 CG53 guideline, which is the very guideline being overhauled...
