These days, doctors only get to read
and hear what the drug industry wants them to read and hear. Anything
controversial, anything questioning the status quo, must be suppressed.
A
year or two ago, I was invited to speak at a new conference in London.
The conference was, I was told, intended to tackle the subject of
medication errors and adverse reactions to prescribed drugs.
The company organising the conference
was called PasTest. “For over 30 years, PasTest has been providing
medical education to professionals within the NHS,” they told me.
“Building on our commitment to quality in medical and healthcare
education, PasTest is creating a range of healthcare events which focus
on the professional development of clinicians and managers who are
working together to deliver healthcare services for the UK. Our aim is
to provide a means for those who are in a position to improve services
on both national and regional levels. The topics covered by our
conferences are embraced within policy, best practice, case study,
clinical management and evidence-based practice. PasTest endeavours to
source the best speakers who will engage audiences with balanced,
relevant and thought-provoking programmes. PasTest has proven in the
past that by using thorough investigative research and keeping
up-to-date with advances in healthcare and medical practice, a premium
educational event can be achieved.”
