Dear Colleagues,
Just adding a bit more detail to Lubna Al
Ansary's recent post and a quick reminder to register for the upcoming
Guidelines International Network (G-I-N) Conference, scheduled for
August 18-21, 2013, in San Francisco (online registration ends on
August 12).
The conference theme is "Integrating
Evidence into Practice - Strategies for the Future." The conference
will be a unique venue for learning from worldwide attendees who will share
their knowledge and experiences regarding guideline and health policy development,
dissemination, adaptation and, especially, implementation. This year's
conference is also focused on strengthening the link between systematic
reviewers and guideline developers. The opportunities to learn and grow
will extend to ongoing collaborative relationships with new and old colleagues
across disciplines from all over the world who share our daily challenges.
We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity in 2013 to develop
and strengthen lasting professional relationships with people from a variety
of countries and organizations.
