The discussions focused on the perceived gaps in patient centricity from physician and patient perspectives and considered what improvements are needed to further advance oncology outcomes.Steve Dunn, Oncology Team Lead and Executive Director commented, “Our event at the Eiffel Tower has provoked much interest in the need for focused education that provides the right skills for physicians and the care team to effectively communicate and collaborate with their patients to help them make the best decisions about their future care together. The Medscape platform can provide the necessary reach and expertise to fulfill this unmet need and advance oncology outcomes through evidence-based patient-centric education. There are exciting times ahead.”This Video is of the full panel discussion .If you’re interested in discussing oncology education, please reach out to Stephen Dunn:email: sdunn@webmd.netmobile: +44 7903042284
