Medicine and Me: Eczema

Tuesday 11 September 2007

Venue: The Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London, W1G 0AE

organised by the Royal Society of Medicine and National Eczema Society

'Medicine and Me' conferences, initiated and developed by the Royal Society of Medicine, are specifically designed 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' meetings aim to provide a forum in which patients' concerns about their illness are given top priority. The meetings provide an opportunity for patients and their families to share their experiences, to hear about the latest research and to question the experts. Eight Medicine and Me meetings have been held to date, on a wide range of diseases; these have all proved to be popular with patients.

The programme for this meeting includes an initial review of recent research, then presentations from three patients, each followed by a response from an expert on eczema, who will discuss the issues raised by the patients, concerning treatment and research. The meeting will finish with an extended interactive discussion involving all the speakers and the audience.
