Dear Subscriber,
This is a brief note to update you about developments at MedSocNews.
Since the MedSocNews list started in 2001 it has continued to grow in
size and earlier this summer the list accepted its 500th subscriber
(currently we have 525). This makes the list one of the largest (if not
the largest) sociology list on Jiscmail. Around 2/3 of our subscribers
are from the UK and the other 1/3 are evenly distributed globally. So
the MedSocNews list is a very effective way of reaching a large national
and international medical sociology audience for any announcement that
you might want to make. So please continue to send announcements of
seminars, conferences, jobs, special journal issues etc to the list.
As the list has grown its management has become somewhat more onerous so
I am pleased to welcome another moderator who will join me in running
the list, Ewen Speed. Ewen is from the Department of Health and Human
Sciences at the University of Essex.
Due to holidays and leave over the summer, messages sent to the list
during August were not forwarded. If you sent a message to the list
during August that has not appeared yet then please could you re-post it
and we will forward it to the list.
All the best,
Simon Carter (Moderator: MedSocNews)
