QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) - THE VITAL RELEVANCE OF RESEARCH
ORGANISED BY THE EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF NEUROLOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS
(EFNA) |
 |
EFNA is pleased to invite doctors and health care professionals
to participate in the debate on the growing importance of
QOL issues in research and treatment.
QOL spans a broad range of aspects and it is only when we
view them together that their collective importance can be
fully understood.
The speakers will present their view on the necessity of
research into QOL, with contributions from the European Parliament,
the European Commission, scientists and patients.
