Dear People
A few months ago Prof T
Davis honorary professor in Queens Medical Centre,Nottingham
University approached the BDS, asking if we were interested in a
presentation on Dupuytren's disease in general and the research he is
doing.
We are now a big step
further, and the decision has been made to do the presentation in
webinar form (internet based seminar), on Monday 19th November 8-9pm.
For now this is meant
for UK and ROI members only, as the health system in other countries
is very different from ours.
This will be using a
program called Zoom, if you don't have it on the computer or tablet
the viewing part is free and installs more or less automatic if you
click on the link to the webinar, which we will send to interested
members in due time. I have used Zoom for webinars many times and not
had any malware or spam with the program, so I can personally
recommend it.
The plan is to have
about 30 minutes presentation first, then 30 minutes where people can
ask questions about the disease or the presentation, and we will have
some panel members ready to answer them. We hope the webinar will be
recorded so it can be accessed later as well.
Now we need to know:
-Who wants to join- if
you do we need your email address to send the link to the webinar.
-What would you like to
have discussed, any particular topics? (for instance different
treatments, why do doctors wait till there is 30-40 degrees
contracture, how big is the chance of getting it in more fingers-
anything you want clarification on)
Please let us know if
you are interested and what topics you would like. The more people
mention a certain topic the better the chance it can be covered.
