Firstly, this is an excellent forum to present research on patient reported outcomes measures and psychometrics, and second because I was chairing the meeting of the ISOQOL UK and Ireland Special Interest Group (SIG) as chair of the SIG. The conference was attended by roughly 500 researchers across the world with others able to access the digital poster hall remotely.

Lee Aiyegbusi at the University of Birmingham had helped with my systematic review and was there with colleagues from the Centre for Patient Reported Outcomes Research. Conrad Harrison gave a talk to CTR earlier this year on psychometrics and clinical trials and was there with colleagues from the University of Oxford. I had started conversations through the SIG about next year\u2019s National PROMs Annual Research Conference so it was excellent to Jill Carlton and her colleagues at the University of Sheffield to discuss this further. And I had only seen my supervisor Mike Horton of the University of Leeds once since we began, so it was excellent to spend more time with him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first day of the conference was specifically for training workshops, with a wide variety on offer. I chose to attend a full day workshop on estimands, which was expertly given by Corneel Coens of EORTC, Rachael Lawrence of Adelphi Values and Libby Floden of Clinical Outcomes Solutions, with a symposium on psychometric methods for intensive longitudinal data to finish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the lunchtime of the second day was the ISOQOL UK and Ireland SIG meeting, which I chaired with Antoinette Davey on the University of Exeter. We were grateful to have an discussion about the continued hosting of the National PROMs Annual Research Conference and what members want from the SIG, which was helped by having ISOQOL president Joanne Greenhalgh attending.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fantistic <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ISOQOL_UK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ISOQOL_UK<\/a> SIG meeting at lunchtime today with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abuisman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@abuisman<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jon_evans_uk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jon_evans_uk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gracemturner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@gracemturner<\/a> helping from afar).
