TUESDAY 1 JULY 15.15 – 16.15 Closing Address: Dr Mike Grocott
This was the centrepiece of an extensive and continuing programme of research into hypoxia (low oxygen levels) and human performance at extreme altitude, aimed at improving the care of the critically ill and other patients where hypoxia is a fundamental problem. The Expedition Leader was Dr Mike Grocott, Senior Lecturer and Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine, and Venturefest is delighted that Mike has accepted its invitation to close Venturefest with a keynote speech about this amazing feat.
