Dear Colleague I would like to invite you, or a member of your organisation to the meeting jointly organised between the James Lind Alliance and The Lancet which is titled "How can clinical trialists serve the needs of clinicians and patients more effectively?". The event is being held at the Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, London W1, on Monday 25 June 2007, between 10:00 am - 4:45 pm In the morning we will discuss if the right trials are being carried out, if the right questions are being asked, if the trials are done in the right way, and if these are looking at the right outcomes. In the afternoon we will consider how the evidence can help individualise treatment decisions. I do hope that you will join those of us involved in the James Lind Alliance, for what will be an enjoyable, informative and challenging day! For more information and to register please see attached flyer and registration form.
