Once a year, in November, and since 2006 GuíaSalud organizes a Scientific Conference. which is held, in the Ministry of Health.
The purpose of the conferences has always been the dissemination of topics related to the development of clinical practice guidelines as well as, the promotion of the knowledge and usage of GuíaSalud services.
From 2006, the central topics of the conferences have been focused on "Quality and evidence decision making", "Scientific evidence based products", "Involving patients in clinical practice" and "Advances in Clinical Practice Guidelines development".
Last conference was focused on: economic evaluation and its use in the development of clinical practice guidelines, developing guideline recommendations with the GRADE system to replace the SIGN system, better management of CPG authors’ conflicts of interests, automation and incorporation of the guidelines in the patients’ medical history, and implementation of CPG recommendations by health professionals.
The organization of this conference is possible thanks to GuíaSalud Scientific Committee who defines the topics and selects the speakers. The staff at GuíaSalud Secretariat is in charge of making all the necessary arrangements so everything is ready on the day of the Conference.
During the Conference, GuíaSalud Secretariat is in charge of: the supervision of all the materials to be handed to the audience, attend the speakers, provide information on GuíaSalud activities and on how to access and consult the clinical practices guidelines belonging to the Spanish NHS CPG Programme.
In order to keep improving the contents and the organization of the event, every year a satisfaction survey is handed to the audience, so the public can state their own evaluation and express any comments regarding the conference. So far, the satisfaction levels have been rather good. Proof of this is the last overall assessment from the 2011 conference being 4.46 out of 5.
As always, for all those who could not attend the event we make available a set of materials in our website: photographs of the event, sessions’ videos and each of the speaker’s PowerPoint presentations.
In addition, it is also possible to consult the materials and videos from previous years which are available on GuíaSalud website, in the Conference File.
