Everyone’s a patient. During our lives we all make important choices about our healthcare, whether treating sickness or generally keeping ourselves well.

During Spring 2008, Kathy Sykes, informed by her scientific training and the experience of patients, explored different types of healthcare in a new Open University/BBC series, Alternative Therapies.

Now we want to hear from you. We want to find out about the choices you make about your healthcare, be it conventional, complementary or alternative. How do you make decisions about your healthcare? What are your opinions, expectations and experiences?

Come along and take part in our study by joining a discussion near you.
