Our annual John Damien Lecture, which is an early evening public talk, was held on the 15th September at 6pm. This year’s speaker was  the renowned memory expert Professor Martin Conway from The University of Leeds.

He is a memory expert witness and have advised in many legal cases in Crown Courts and at the Royal Courts of Appeal. He has also been consulted on cases internationally.

Professor Conway’s lecture was on ‘Remembering and Forgetting: Autobiographical Memories in Health and in Illness’. A recording of this lecture running alongside the lecture slides can be listened to here.
