Factual Health Information Keynotes and workshops for discerning audiences

Health information

Information about how to optimise health is frequently given by self-proclaimed experts. Consequently the health information given is frequently incorrect, biased, incomplete or out-of-date. Since it is very difficult for even a current researcher to be in touch with all the latest findings in health research, it is extraordinarily difficult for anyone else. Thousands of new health-related research papers are published every year and only someone who is familiar with all the medical and scientific terminology has a chance of teasing out the health information and translating it into practical advice. Even then, the task is continuous as new research results are emerging every day.

Professionals seek accurate advice from experts

People who are professionals in their own fields seek advice from other experts. To impart complex health information, the expert needs to have multidisciplinary knowledge and the interest and knowledge to build the bridges between the multidisciplinary fields. Professionals seek accurate information and not just entertainment. Professional audiences look for a combination of 20% entertainment and 80% information rather than the 20% information scenario that is more common. Professionals recognise and value knowledge.
