I've been invited to speak at a conference!

[Guest guest]

Hi

I'm totally shocked but I got phoned up by a conference organiser asking if I'd

speak at the 2nd Annual conference on hip replacement:improving the patient

pathway

The idea was for me to talk about my experience of being a patient but I said

that my individual experience probably doesn't reflect the larger patient

community and I'd rather gather up ideas from fellow patients and share those

with them

The audience will be surgeons and orthpaedic nurses so an important group to get

through to

The questions I have been asked to talk on are

1. What do patients need to know (I'd say want to know as well)

2. How could the patient pathway from diagnosis to recovery be improved.

I'd really like to hear other people's ideas of what I should say as I really

don't just want to give them my opinion.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

Pamela

ps the conference is in London in September
