Hello OntWIG members!
Welcome back after some time off since our last Symposium in April. If you haven't read the 8th Annual Symposium proceedings, please find them linked below to refresh your memory.
Below you will find an email from Health Quality Ontario urging you to provide feedback for a health technology assessment draft in regards to compression stockings that OntWIG has been involved with. The more feedback they receive, the more likely the recommendation will be accepted for funding! Please contribute your thoughts! The link is below to enter your feedback (in blue).
We are looking forward to meeting with you again at the next event or conference call.
Best wishes,
The OntWIG Executive
