JUNE 1998
------------------
June 10 - 12, 1998, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"Communication in health care"
* Call for abstracts issued February 1997. Deadline: July 31, 1997 *
"Medicine is a delicate balance of art, science and communication."
(Carole Guzman). Communication can be considered as the link between
art and science. Its importance has been stressed since Hippocrates.
Now that the limits of medical technology are in sight, communication
has been rediscovered by scientists and politicians alike. This
international conference is devoted to an assessment of the state
of the art of communication research in the broadest sense. Its
very name "Communication in Health Care", denotes communication
between providers and patients in a variety of medical settings,
e.g. primary care, the hospital, nursing care and institutional
care. Invited speakers will highlight aspects of doctor-patient
communication in general practice, out-patient and nursing care,
communication training in medical schools, communication in
vocational training and new trends in communication research.
There will be ample opportunity to make oral or poster
presentations, to organize workshops or to give demonstrations.
Sessions on training and evaluation will be designed to extend the
dialogue begun at the conference on "Teaching about Communication
in Medicine" (Oxford, July 1996)
The conference will be held from 10 to 12 June 1988 in the Free
University, Amsterdam. The conference center is within 15 minutes
by train from Schiphol International Airport and 20 minutes by
'sneltram' from Amsterdam Central Station. Hotel rooms are
available within walking distance of the conference center.
The historical center of Amsterdam with its numerous famous
museums, exclusive shopping malls and restaurants, is within easy
reach.
Earlybird registration must be received by 15 February 1998.

Every sunset now filles up my senses with sadness and hope.
'Het is goed om even voor het slapen gaan
in 't eigen hart te kijken
om te zien of we niemand hebben pijn gedaan'
- naar een stukje Vlaamse literatuur -
'It is good shortly before going to sleep
to look in the own heart
to see if we didn't hurt someone'
- resembles a small piece of Flemish literature -
