Experts’ Forum publications are designed to encapsulate the essence of a local meeting of health professionals who have a keen interest in a condition or disease state. These meetings are typically a day in duration, and will include presentations of local research and discussion of guidelines and management strategies.

Even for local events it is not always possible for everyone with a similar therapeutic interest to attend. Expert’s Forum publications capture what was said and allows it to be made available to a wider audience through the Research Review membership or through physical distribution.
