Further details available at: http://www.britsoc.co.uk/events/medsoc.htm The BSA Medical Sociology Group Annual Conference is always an essential networking event for Medical Sociology academics and professionals. The group celebrates its 43rd Anniversary conference in 2011 and interest in the field of Medical Sociology continues to increase. The conference programme includes research papers from all areas of study within the field of medicine, health and illness. High profile plenary speakers have been selected for the 2011 conference: * Professor Rose Barbour (University of Dundee) and; * Professor Alan Petersen (Monash University Australia). With a broad and varied programme including symposia, poster presentations and social events we hope to continue to host the leading UK event for medical sociologists. We are delighted to have attracted such visionary and engaging plenary speakers. Who should attend? Delegates attending the BSA Medical Sociology Group Annual Conference include Sociology and Medicine academics, and in addition to these, the conference always attracts health professionals such as, nurses, doctors, medical social workers and community health workers and postgraduates from across both the UK and internationally. It provides a rare opportunity for publishers with titles in health and illness to bring lists to the attention of important sections of the target community. We welcome a wide range of books in the sociology of health and illness, politics of health care and health policy, women's health, health and ethnicity, reproduction, prevention, health education and promotion, disability, genetics, ageing, the social history of medicine and specific health problems such as HIV/AIDS. A limited number of funded places are available for those without institutional support to attend. Categories for support have been extended this year to encompass unwaged and healthcare practitioners as well as post graduate students and sociologists outside academia (especially members of third sector organisations or groups). The conference will be structured around streams that include: Cancer Embodiment and Emotion Ethics Ethnicity Experiences of Health and Illness Gender Health policy, service delivery & organisation Health technologies and genetics Individual, collective and global risk Inequalities Lay-professional interface Lifecourse Reproductive Health Chronic conditions Ageing Death and dying Mental Health Methods Patient and public involvement Patient organisation and support groups Preventive Health Randomised controlled trials and evidenced-based medicine Sleep Theory Open Stream Please direct queries to [log in to unmask] ********************************************************************** 1.
