Professor Elliott explains what happened when a top heart surgeon went to work with a F1 team and what lessons were learned: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/formula-1-and-its-contributions-to-healthcare

At first sight, there is little relationship between the high tech, high cost, high speed and highly competitive world of F1 and heart surgery for children. Yet Formula 1, with its extraordinary teamwork, rates of innovation, commitment to excellence and relentless pursuit of safety has taught us a great deal.

This lecture will consider the parallels between our activities, describe the lessons learned and consider how we, in healthcare, might benefit more from how they work and their technology. And a little of what they have learned from us!

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/formula-1-and-its-contributions-to-healthcare
