24th May 2013 Meetings with UK Doctors and Proton Therapy Specialists to promote UK Patients Travelling to Europe for Proton Therapy.

As I am based in London I am working to promote the European Proton Centre which opened its door to international patients at the end of 2012. My role is two fold.

First to inform doctors in both the NHS as well as private sectors about the advantages of Proton Therapy over traditional treatments. After my initial contact I will then arrange for them to meet with the team here in London at The Royal Society of Medicine.

Secondly, I will be arranging with both the team at The Royal Society of Medicine so that I can facilitate the series of meetings later this month.

My first step is to discuss the goals for these series of intial meetings. Is this to generate interest for another presentation or do the team visiting anticiapte that the initial meeting will then generate dialogue?

From my discussions it is also clear that another presentation in the UK other than London will be planned and I will operate as the organiser for both recruitment of interested professionals here in the UK as well as the person to co-ordinate discussions between the management team at the proton centre.

I will then prepare all of the necessary materials both printed and online after completing creating a detailed listing of doctors and healthcare authorities who will be both interested and relevant to the conditions which proton therapy sucessfully treats.

The next and all important step as a consultant representing both the centre and team members with whom I am working is to make contact with those who the listing indicates need to attend this meeting. My role is not as a salesman but rather an experienced and compasionate professional with considerable experience who is facilitating both initial and continued dialogue.
