Dr Karl Morten - UK researcher based at Oxford University

Very interesting. He attended the PEM workshop organised on Eventbrite by Ian Bruce when he chaired the Delivery plan Research Working Group. That had two patient speakers at the start.

Did anyone watch the conference? Or know if a recording will be posted anywhere? I wanted to watch but didn't realize I had to register beforehand, and it wasn't letting me get in on that day.

 

Some of Omega's previous talks (including Karl Morten's event from last year) are up on YouTube, but this one isn't. Hopefully they'll put it up at some point.

 

That paper was written by a hodge podge of other authors as well as the Morten team:
