I actually like β€œBRAIN” even better.

*Benefits
*Risks
*Alternatives?
*Instinct (patient & doc)

An absolute honour & career highlight to give The Ulster Medical Society SirThomas & Lady Dixon lecture.

#CVRM thought process will be a cornerstone of General Practice Long Term Condition Mx,but primordial prevention is where the most strategical power lies to protect the nxt generation.
