This year’s Telford Memorial lecture will be delivered by: Professor Sir Jonathan Van-Tam, MBE, FRCPath FRSB FMedSci
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam served at the heart of the UK Government during the recent SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic. In this lecture he will reflect on how, science, public health policy, and politics were, of necessity, in the room at the same time as the UK navigated the crisis. He will explain the gradual journey from a frightening new virus in humans, to one that is now liveable with, in a society that is gradually returning to normal. This is not a ‘kiss-and-tell’ lecture; instead, one that thoughtfully charts one man’s journey through the worst public health crisis of a lifetime.
