ISHA Patient Information Committee
The ISHA Patient Information Committee’s mission is to compile materials and activities to develop ISHA’s role in patient information. Our long-term aim is to be the premier source of patient information in the field of hip preservation.
The ISHA patient information offering will centre around three pillars, comprising: patient resources, research in patient information and education of ISHA members in how to inform patients in the best possible way. To help achieve this, we have a wealth of initiatives being planned, including website content and leaflets, online events, videos, animations, instructional courses and research projects.
