In short: This lecture explores the complex relationship between clinical outcomes and the cost of treatment, questioning whether patient perspective is the only metric that truly matters in modern medicine.
Martin Elliott, Professor Emeritus of Cardiothoracic Surgery at UCL, examines the hypothesis that value in healthcare is defined solely by the patient's perspective. The discussion weighs the importance, worth, or usefulness of medical interventions against the financial costs required to achieve them.
