PRIMARY
HEALTHCARE
Under the umbrella of The Primary Healthcare congress, this year three new conference streams will be featured: ‘Family Medicine’, ‘Bone & Joint’ and ‘Current Trends in Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology’. Learn how research into areas of education policy and early detection are being put in place to combat the chilling predictions for the health of the region’s growing population across all these areas of expertise.
Family Medicine Conference 23-25 October
Due to popular demand last year, this year’s Primary Healthcare Congress will feature a three-day conference specifically focusing on Family Medicine. As a medical specialty, which covers healthcare for all ages, it is vital to have a spectrum of topics included in this programme. As a result, the 2011 agenda will include topics ranging from paediatrics and geriatrics to psychiatry, sexual health, nutrition and wellness. There will also be sessions covering medical ethics and evidence- based medicine. As such, the programme will include an academic and practical approach, which is beneficial to those who engage in family medicine teaching.
A note from the chair:
“The Family medicine specialty is becoming a cornerstone of any healthcare system in the world. This year the Family Medicine Conference in Abu Dhabi is tailored to meet the actual needs of any family physician. The topics in this conference were chosen very carefully to deal with hot medical topics while the presentations and approach are carefully prepared to simulate management of real cases in your day-to-day practice. The speakers are experienced family physicians who are able to add their own experience to that of literature review.”
Dr Osman El-Labban, Dubai Health Authority
