  Download the excellent Gresham College App from the App Store. This post involved the delivery of 6 public lectures per year for a period of 4 years. My lecture series covered the Heart, its anomalies and how they can be corrected, as well as looking at the place of the heart in music and art. The politics of the delivery of highly specialised health care in a time of austerity were also debated. The lectures are all available on line at the Gresham College website.
