Emily Ward

Emily was involved in Medsin (a network of globally thinking medical students) at Newcastle medical school. Wary that nothing comes for free she wondered about free lunches, pens, torniquets etc being thrust at them. Through Medsin Emily worked with PharmAware, a network of students educating on the pharamaceutical industry: the reason we needed good statistical analysis of papers, what negative publishing bias meant and what 'Ghostbusting' journal writers meant. Joining Healthy Skeptism was a way to ensure we continue to try to learn and educate about the industry and its affect on our patients. Emily now works as junior doctor in Dundee.
