Professor Sir Michael Rawlins, Chairman of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), and Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics and Principal Research Associate at University College London, spoke at the HealthWatch lecture, in March 2013, hosted at King's College London.
The lecture addressed the issues around the future of evidence-based practice in medicine and asked the question: Is the direction of medical research top down or bottom up? 
The lecture was introduced by Nick Ross, TV personality and President of HealthWatch and was chaired by comedian and writer Robin Ince. 
HealthWatch is an independent charity that promotes assessment and testing of all medical treatments, whether 'orthodox' or 'alternative'.
