“You and your GP”

by Professor John Wass

Professor Wass will discuss how to get the most out of your relationship with your GP, and how to ensure they are able to work well with an endocrinologist as part of your health care team. He will draw on the findings of the ADSHG’s 2003 international survey to describe the typical health profile and ongoing symptoms experienced by people with treated Addison’s disease.  Professor Wass will highlight those areas where the GP can be most effective in helping you to manage your health.

The medical lecture will be preceded by the annual general meeting of the ADSHG.  The afternoon’s proceedings will conclude with tea and coffee, plus the opportunity to practise the emergency injection technique.  Members are welcome to invite their GP to attend this lecture, in addition to family and friends. 

We will be asking for a donation at the door of £5 waged, £2 unwaged to cover the costs of venue hire, catering and other expenses.  To ensure we have enough seating for everyone, please confirm your attendance with Noel Hawks and let him know if you will be bringing a guest.
