A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

#andthewinneris... Dr Emily Finch from @MaudsleyNHS. Congrats Emily!

The judges noted that Dr Finch's nomination stood out from the rest, with her multi-faceted contributions in the often neglected field of addiction psychiatry, advocating tirelessly for high quality care and combatting stigma that people face. They also added that Emily is a compassionate and highly respected leader in psychiatry, admired for her advocacy for the most vulnerable and stigmatised people in society, her national contributions to addiction policy and training, and her dedication as a clinician, colleague, and mento are remarkable. #rcpsychawards
