Signed up today for the PCOS UK Annual Conference, which is taking place in November.PCOS UK is a multidisciplinary society for healthcare professionals caring for women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
I attend their events pretty regularly, but I'm especially interested in this year's conference, because of a new feature - the Research Digest. Members of the organisation's council will present key research papers and the audience will vote for the one they believe will have the most impact upon the management of PCOS.
There will undoubtedly be papers offering biomedical advances, but it would be great if at least one of them offered something practical to address psychosocial concerns.
I wonder if it's 'the done thing' to lobby for papers to be selected ( I find this sort of informal self-promotion really embarrassing, but perhaps I ought to be more cheeky about it).
Just in case there's anyone out there who'd like to put a word in on my behalf...
