The special issue on partnership includes several fascinating
articles but most contributors focus on shared decision-making at the
level of individual patient care rather than planning and development of
NHS services. The BMA Foundation for AIDS is holding a one-day conference
on 14 April 2000 to compare experiences of user/patient involvement in
service planning for HIV/AIDS, cancer and mental health and to support
doctors (eg in PCGs) who are seeking to involve patients more effectively
in future. Please contact me at hilary@bmaids.demon.co.uk if you would
like further details of this conference.
