Organising conferences and workshops


PatientView arranges and runs conferences, forums and workshops on patient-oriented subjects. PatientView brings the patient perspective to conferences and helps build consensus with various healthcare stakeholders.

PatientView conferences are unique in another way-the published conference programme is often a document of great informational value in its own right. And PatientView usually produces a post-conference report on proceedings. Conference speakers 'sign off' their published contributions to the report, creating unanimity and independence.

The report is distributed to all conference attendees, ensuring transparency. Note that PatientView was possibly the first group in the UK to involve patients and patient representatives in a clinical assessment of new technologies for the NHS [electronic-booking technology] (2003):

• Workshop: "NHS Electronic-Booking Technology: Getting it Right for Doctors and Patients"

July 2003, Microsoft Technology Centre, Microsoft Campus, Reading, UK Sponsored by EDS
28 participants
Report produced [NHS Electronic-Booking Technology: Getting it Right for Doctors and Patients, July 2003] and circulated to all participants.
