From Egyptology to NASA. How to make movies, play the highest game of handball in the world, carry the Olympic Torch and still call it all Medicine

Daniel Grant is not your traditional doctor. Working in the Arts and Sports sectors before becoming a medic he’s managed to weave aspects of all his previous careers and experiences into his medical practise and vice-versa. Does he fit neatly into the NHS? No. But does that matter? Absolutely not. Let Dan take you through his journey that has led him to the top of the Alps, the bottom of the ocean and to the spaciest offices in Houston.  He’ll talk about how experiences off the beaten track can both enhance day to day medical practice and open up doorways to brand new opportunities. Thoroughly recommended for anyone who thinks that they ‘don’t quite fit in’ or are anxious about taking that first step out.

I’m delighted to be talking at this year’s Edinburgh Science Festival about Space Medicine and the challenges we face getting the average joe into space in the coming years.
