Vitamin D prescribing patterns and innovations in diagnostic testing

Hosted by London Metropolitan University

A two-hour academic seminar at London Metropolitan University's Science Centre, run by its Research and Postgraduate Office. Three short talks cover how common vitamin D deficiency is in the UK, how prescribing varies between GP practices in Islington, and advances in diagnostic testing, followed by a demonstration of the IgLoo device. It is aimed at NHS clinicians, prescribing and public health teams, researchers and postgraduate trainees, and tickets are free on Eventbrite. It is some way north of the Strand venues, so allow travel time.
