The Royal Society of Medicine emailed me about this. This is a great opportunity for people with vitiligo and their family. I can tell you, events like this are rare. You'll regret it if you miss it.
The meeting "Medicine & Me: Vitiligo", organised jointly with the Vitiligo Society, will bring together patients, their families, carers, advocates, patient support groups, clinicians and researchers to discuss Vitiligo, This meeting will focus on initial experiences at diagnosis, psychological aspects of the disease with especial reference to issues of ethnicity, and issues around patient pathways within the NHS.
The event is free (via a refund), meaning you have to pay a £10 (patient)/£20 family deposit and they'll refund it. To register visit, http://www.roysocmed.ac.uk/academ/medvitiligo.phpm&m Vitiligo Final Email Programme View Larger Map
I love the structure of the program. Wish I could be there. Alexander/anyone going want to find out if they are recording or streaming the event?

Preliminary answer is they can't. They can't stream it because of confidentiality and they can't record it because of copyright. But he is verifying if that is correct.

That's not uncommon. But we'll be ready when they are. And I still want us as a community to hold an online worldwide conference that sets the bar... :)

I think they realise the benefit of what we do here, which is why he is doing he's best to check that in fact can't be done. I think in future events, they'll consider it.

I'll ask the person who emailed me and let you know what I hear.

Is this NHS subsidized?
