The Saatchi Innovation Bill – LIVE from the House of Lords

February 24, 2014 in General Leave a reply

What a privilege to work with the talented team from Fieldcraft Studios on the first ever LIVE Google Hangout from the House of Lords. It was tense setting up what was essentially a portable TV studio but it all worked. We’re waiting to find out how many people ‘tuned in’, but the room was packed, the stories powerful and the case for the Bill a no brainer.

The Bill gives us the chance to change the course of medical history, to help patients and doctors innovate and find new cures and treatments for diseases that are hurting and killing our friends, families and us. Currently doctors are forced by the threat of legal action to stick to standard procedures, even when they’re proving ineffective.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has promised that if we tell him we want the Medical Innovation Bill, he will pass the Bill into Law.

You can watch the Google Hangout live on The Telegraph.
