The Green Templeton Lectures for 2017 has chosen ‘Delivering health: clinical, management and policy challenges’ as its overarching theme. Delivering health and healthcare is an immensely complex and expensive activity and needs cooperation and collaboration between patients, clinical expertise, management, and policy makers if future improvements are to be realised. New ways of ‘power sharing’ between interested parties in decision-making need to be explored.

The objective is that this theme will be of interest to clinicians, those in management and policy making and regulation with an interest in healthcare. These four talks will provide students and faculty from a variety of academic disciplines with an interest in health to obtain new perspectives and an opportunity to meet those in other academic disciplines and potentially collaborate.
