Nurse Education Conference Budapest, Hungary 29th - 30th June 2009     The Open Society Institute from New York, USA, organised the "Patient Advocacy Seminar" in Budapest, Hungary from 29th-30th June. Professionals dealing with cancer, palliative care and pain, as well as representatives from different patients’ groups from eight European countries were invited. Lecturers and experts from the USA, UK and other invited countries spoke about their experiences regarding patients' advocacy and about their successful campaigns that contributed to successfully changing policy, better opioid availability and public awareness regarding palliative care. During the two day event, seminar participants learnt that being an expert in their own field does not mean much for patients rights, unless we also have proper knowledge and skills on being good advocates. Serbia sent six participants to the event.
