"Medicine and Me" conference for people with MS
23 July 2009
The Royal Society of Medicine, in association with the MS Trust, is organising a Medicine and Me conference for sufferers of MS on Tuesday 6th October.
Medicine and Me conferences, initiated and developed by the Royal Society of Medicine, are specifically intended for patients. These meetings bring together patients, their families, carers, advocates, patient support groups, clinicians and researchers to discuss care and research issues in a particular condition. Medicine and Me conferences aim to provide a forum in which patients' concerns about their illness are given top priority.
Typically at Medicine and Me meetings at least two thirds of the audience are people affected by the condition, their families and advocates, about one third are clinicians, experts and researchers. This format enables patients and doctors to listen to one another, and to learn from one another.
This Medicine and Me conference will focus on the needs of patients who may have had MS for some time, and whose lives are significantly affected by the illness.
