The International Society for Priorities in Health Care 08 Conference

Call for Abstracts: Opens Jan. 31, 2008

The International Society for Priorities in Health Care invites you to submit an abstract to the 2008 conference to be held in Newcastle-Gateshead, UK - one of the
most beautiful, historic and diverse regions in the United Kingdom.

The conference provides a forum for researchers, practitioners, decision-makers and policy-makers to exchange ideas and experience. The Society focuses on getting research into practice by encouraging practitioners to learn about approaches to priority setting and encouraging researchers to learn from real experience across the spectrum of developing and developed nations.


This year's conference theme is "Managing scarcity in health care: theory-to-practice and practice-to-theory". Conference goals are to:

* Achieve participation from practitioners at all levels of health care (from international through to local) as well as the public
* Create a vibrant environment for two-way learning, from theory to practice and practice to theory
* Enhance learning about managing scarcity in more equitable and efficient ways, and thus, for the greater benefit of the population we serve.

Conference 28-31 October 2008
