‘It's easy to be definite when you only care about your opinion and not the evidence' How can we as qualified professionals and experts combat misleading medical misinformation online? Join consultant paediatrician Dr Niamh Lynch and small animal veterinary surgeon, Cat Henstridge, as they discuss their work in the online space and how they tackle the myths, misinformation and scaremongering about conventional medicine, both human and animal, that are so prevalent on social media. They will share their opinions on why this kind of messaging gains so much traction, how they approach correcting it and how all of us can use our voices to combat this damaging trend.
