We have a special mini-series we're releasing this week: Engaging in Storytelling:  A 3-part collaborative podcast series with SPOR Cast, Matters of Engagement and PEP Talks. We each cover a different angle on patient stories and storytelling - together they provide a rich picture of some of the challenges, concerns, and also opportunities when it comes to engaging in storytelling. We will be sharing all three episodes on our platforms.  This is the first of 3, and it's produced by our friends at SPORCast: The Patient Story Experience: Cost or Benefit? In this episode, Bev hosts a conversation between an activated Patient Partner and a Trauma Informed Practice expert on patient storytelling; which is quite often the entry point of patient engagement in healthcare. We hope you enjoy it!  If you're listening in order, The Matters of Engagement episode is up next (Wednesday), followed by PEPTalks (Thursday).  [download transcript] Claire Snyman on twitter Marika Sandrelli on twitter SPORcast on twitter PEP Talks on twitter

Claire Snyman from Canada, talks about her personal experience when she was diagnosed with a rare benign brain tumour, a colloid cyst.. Claire went on to write the book ‘Two Steps Forward – Embracing life with a brain tumor’. She was inspired to start to write her book based off her journals. Two years later, and 70 000 words later, Two Steps Forward is now available in e-book and print copy! "It was in 2010, after a vertigo attack and the onset of migraines, that I was diagnosed with a rare benign brain tumour, a colloid cyst. I was 34 at the time and the mother of a 4-year-old and I heard the words that no one ever wants to hear: “You have a brain tumor.” My first thoughts were of my husband and son. I felt numb. As part of my treatment, I became part of the group of ‘watch and wait’ brain tumor patients around the world who are monitored with yearly MRI scans" Don't forget to check out the Aunty M Brain Tumours Website.
