There has been an increased awareness of the porphyrias within the growing medical community. Several medical schools have made contact with PES and requested materials or use of the Educational Booth. The Traveling Educational Booth has found it's way to medical conferences, nursing education conferences, a pharmaceutical workshop, as well as to several hospitals and various medical conventions. The booth which was well received in 1998 during its debute, the booth is now in demand throughout the year along a table for distributing of the porphyria handbook. PES has come to realize fully that physicians do want to know anout porphyria.
Physicians do take the time at conventions and workshop to visit the booth.
During the millenium the over 10,000 pieces of porphyria literature was distributed. We have valued the number of physicians who have helped with the ever growing number of medical information requests. We try our best to link patients with physicians who can best answer their specific porphyria needs. During the Millenium it has been a a growing number of pharmacists has contacted PES and have complimented us on the Unsafe Drug website which more are increasingly uses in their pharmaceutical service Again, on a personal note, Porphyria as a disease, has become manageable. I wish that my success will be your success in the year ahead.
