Professor David Spiegelhalter, world-leading statistician, will speak about the trustworthy communication of risk and evidence.

HealthWatch is celebrating its 30th birthday on Tuesday July 27th with a special guest speaker – our 2021 joint award winner – and perhaps the first statistician to have been acclaimed a ‘national treasure’.

David Spiegelhalter holds the Winton Professorship of the Public Understanding of Risk, at the University of Cambridge, England. His controversial theme: “Trustworthy communication of risk and evidence: the battle against naughty numbers in the news.”

Please join us for a very special night in our history to hear how one of the world’s leading statisticians sees the figures that will help, for good or ill, to shape our destiny.

This is a live (in-person) event and we hope to have room for 80 guests, but final numbers may be restricted subject to Covid-19 regulations. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Start-time: 6:30 for 7:00 p.m.

Refreshments will be provided.
