10. - 12. September 2013: Preventing overdiagnosis

The Preventing Overdiagnosis conference is hosted by The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice, in partnership with one of the world’s most respected medical journals, the BMJ, the leading New-York based consumer organisation Consumer Reports, and Bond University.

Leading questions through the whole conference are: What is overdiagnosis? What do we know about overdiagnosis? What can we do about overdiagnosis?

As it moves through these three questions, the conference will have two interrelated themes or tracks. One theme will explore the science and methods used to identify and quantify over-diagnosis, and more than half of the conference will comprise scientific presentations. The other related theme explores the meaning of over-diagnosis, what’s driving it and how best to respond to it, with a focus on communicating information about overdiagnosis to health professionals, policy makers and the public.
