9th G-I-N conference overview
G-I-N spotlight - 2009 conference figures and feedback
The 2009 G-I-N Conference held in Lisbon was truly international and enabled wonderful exchanges between participants. We welcomed more than 380 delegates from 42 countries from all continents.
The outstanding work of Minna Kaila and the whole scientific committee was well rewarded by the very positive comments offered by participants on the quality of the scientific programme. The scientific committee selected wonderful plenary speakers, who highlighted the international outreach of G-I-N, as they travelled from more continents than previously seen at a G-I-N conference. The committee members reviewed more than 220 abstracts allowing us to hold 16 workshops and 19 parallel sessions covering a range of topics from guideline development and implementation to patient and allied health professionals involvement.
Amongst the many high quality posters, that of Anna Gagliardi (affiliate scientist from Toronto General Hospital, Canada) won the poster prize this year for: “How can we improve guideline utilization? Conceptual framework of implementability”.
The special social programme prepared for us by Antonio Vaz Carneiro and the local organisers enabled further discovery of the Portuguese culture and networking at another level.
