From Suzy Chapman <suzy.chapman:

 

 

 

Royal Society of Medicine " CFS "

Conference Webcasts and Presentation PDFs

 

 

 

To date, webcasts for six of the presentations have been uploaded to the

RSM's website.

 

 

On 27 June, I spoke to the personal assistant of Ian Balmer, Chief Executive

of the Royal Society of Medicine, who advised that webcasts of the

presentations were expected to be completed and available from the website by

the end

of this week (4th July) - six have gone up since Monday.

 

 

I asked Mr Balmer's PA whether all the presentations were going to be made

available since there had been concerns that permission might not yet have

been obtained from all of those who had given presentations. I was advised

that

it was understood by Ian Balmer's office that all the presentations will be

included.

 

 

For the six webcasts currently available go to:

 

_http://rsm.mediaondemand.net/events.aspx_

(http://rsm.mediaondemand.net/events.aspx)

 

A registration process is required in order to view the webcasts but this

affords immediate access. Return to the site will require logging in.

 

So the webcasts available today, are (in the order of the Conference

Programme)

I'd like to take this opportunity of thanking the

following:

 

Gus Ryan for organising the RSM Protest on the afternoon of the conference,

his two stewards, Annette Barclay and Ciaran Farrell, all those who attended

the protest and prepared presentation letters; Joan and Dewi Crawford for

attending in the morning and handing out several hundred information leaflets

to

conference attendees; everyone both here in the UK and internationally, who

sent postcards, letters and emails to the RSM in protest against the make-up

of the planning committee the line-up of

presenters and the conference agenda - according to the RSM's Mrs Jo

Parkinson, they were " inundated " ; all those who raised awareness of the various

protests on websites, forums, e-lists and social networking sites and all those

who agitated before and following the conference for transcripts and videos of

the presentations to be made available on the RSM's website.
