Sir Michael Rawlins (NICE) Joins Expert Team at ISCTM 6th Annual Meeting

Sir Michael Rawlins, Chairman National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), joins ISCTM 6th Annual Scientific Meeting speakers' roster as Keynote Speaker for the ISCTM 2010 National Mental Health Research-to-Policy Forum on Comparative Effectiveness Research.  CER represents a major emphasis for the development of policies to establish the value of therapies, pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic, for the treatment of CNS diseases.  In this session, leaders in the development of healthcare policy form around the world will address questions like: What are the urgent questions to be addressed by CER in the CNS area?  How should these questions be prioritized?  What can we learn from the experience of NICE in the UK?

Due to the current high interest in comparative effectiveness legislation, and its potential impact on mental health policy, this year's Research-to-Policy Forum will continue through the afternoon, followed by a methodologically focused session entitled: Comparative Effectiveness Research in CNS Disorders-Rationale,  Elements and Challenges, chaired by Nina R. Schooler and Charles Bowden.
