2019 Annual Newsletter

Introduction from the Chair

Dear DIPEx International colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I write another Introduction for our annual newsletter. When I look over the last few years’ worth of newsletters it is abundantly clear how much we have grown, not just in numbers and diversity of projects, but also the new and varied activities we are undertaking as part of our DI work. For example, in this edition we feature the first patient-led project, trigger (or catalyst) films, creative fundraising methods, and a host of educational resources for health professionals.

The newsletter is a great way to keep up to date with our activities, and to share successes (as well as the inevitable failures), resources and future plans. This year we are delighted to feature our newest member, Brazil!

Many thanks to you all for your wonderful contributions and I look forward to catching up with you in Oxford at our next meeting.

With best wishes Lorraine Smith - Chair
