Commenting on the significant impact of the PHG Foundation, relative to its size, Prof Patrick Maxwell, quoted anthropologist Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has” adding that, under the umbrella of the Clinical School he believes the PHG Foundation can ‘have even more impact than before’.
