This week the annual Preventing over diagnosis conference is happening in Quebec, Canada. The conference is put together with a wide range of partners, including The BMJ, and aims to tackle the some of the problems of Too Much Medicine. To kick off our content for the conference, this week we’ve published an article looking at some of the drivers - and hence potential solutions for over diagnosis.

Two of the authors of that paper. Thanya Pathirana, and Ray Moynihan, both from Bond University’s Centre fro Research in Evidence Based Practice, join us to discuss.
