Tim talked about reconstructive surgery after cancer treatment, and his masterclass included clinical histories of several patients. Tim uses computer analysis and modelling in his work, so his talk was of interest to computer scientists as well as those wishing to enter medicine and allied careers in healthcare.

There was also a strong general interest aspect in this remarkable surgery. The cinema was full to the brim with students from Ignite to Year 13, including students from North Liverpool Academy. The amazing success of Tim's team made for a very interesting talk, including a fascinating insight into how they select clinical strategies dependent on patients' desired outcomes.

There were lots of questions and answers after the masterclass, and Tim kindly stayed on and spoke individually to many members of the audience. Tim was very impressed by Liverpool Life Sciences UTC and The Studio School, and by the quality of questioning, and we hope to continue this new partnership.
