Venue: Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, LONDON, W1G 0AE, England
organised by the Royal Society of Medicine in association with Colostomy Association
'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: Living with colostomy' is jointly organised by the Royal Society of Medicine and the Colostomy Association.
'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.
