The Gearty Grillings are a series of short videos in which talented academics from across LSE are ‘grilled’ on their research and ideas. The rules are simple: one take, and guests can’t run over their allotted time. In episode four, Conor Gearty challenges Julian Le Grand on competition and motivation within the National Health Service and more broadly.

Last week’s episode with Catherine Boone on the Great African Land Grab can be seen here.
