Realistic Medicine 2024 : Designing Realistic Journeys
This year the Realistic Medicine Team in Tayside will be holding a one-day Realistic Medicine 2024. Our conference will take place on Wednesday 20 November 2024 at the Regional Performance Centre, Dundee.
Following the most recent Chief Medical Officer annual report Realistic Medicine: Taking Care, our focus this year is on developing realistic journeys where we can make meaningful connections and deliver careful and kind care.
This is a multi-disciplinary conference, and we are keen to have discussions and learning across specialties, interfaces and professions. The Conference is open to a wide audience, including all clinical professions, patients, carers, social care staff, voluntary organisations, academics and students.
Please come along and join us.
