[London] Communicating Risk in Health Information 26 Jan 2016

[Jo Brodie]

This isn't cheap (cheaper if you're a member of PiF, the Patient Information Forum) but it does look very good. I'm pretty tempted

Presentations will include:

• Health literacy and numeracy in the UK (Community Health & Leaning Foundation)
• How can we clearly communicate risk information? (David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk in the Statistical Laboratory, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge)
• Factors influencing the perception of side-effect risk information (Peter Gardner, Head of School of Psychology, University of Leeds)
• TBC Shared decision making and risk communication (Richard Thompson, Professor of Epidemiology & Public Health, Newcastle University)
• Best practice for clearly communicating risk (PiF, based on PiF Toolkit best practice)
• Using data visualisation to explain risks (Eluned Hughes, Breast Cancer Now)

Did you go in the end?
Sounds really good!

It's still in the future, Tue 26 Jan :)

I'd like to go but need to get fit and healthy first (in case others aren't aware I've been in hospital w chest infection, recovering nicely, get tired easily so no leaping about).

Should be OK by then... I think.
