Medicinsk Dialog, or ”Medical Dialogue”, is aiming at increasing a good dialogue on medicines between patients, health professionals and relatives.
It is doing so by providing good, evidence-based and reliable information on medicines, health and patient safety to relevant target groups in the health sector and beyond. Also, by gathering and presenting evidence on the advantages of relevant patient communication and involvement.
The tasks of Medicinsk Dialog are:
– writing articles on medicines and health for patients and health professionals
– teaching/lecturing on rational use of medicines, patient communication, patient safety etc.
– literature searches and communication for health professionals, patients, relatives etc.
– interview of relevant target groups
– partnering in projects on patient-communication, -information and -involvement
Medicinsk Dialog/Medical Dialogue is established by Marianne Møller, who’s background is a mix of medicine, research and communication. Marianne is PhD., M.sc. pharm. & M.sc. Prof. Comm., and has 30 years of experience in the health sector.
Marianne has been working fulltime in a pharmacy, in a national health webportal (NetDoktor) and for 10 years in the Danish Medicines Agency with information on rational use of medicines (Institute for Rational Pharmacotherapy, IRF).
