2-3 April 2014, Surrey, UK

Workshop objectives

  • Review methodologies for capturing benefits and hams and their relative importance
  • Identify differences in the relative importance of benefits and hams among stakeholders
  • Make recommendations for different approaches that patients can take to inform companies and agencies of their needs
