"Nothing About Me Without Me": Sharon O'Toole is a senior research fellow in Trinity College Dublin working in the area of gynaecological cancer. She sits on the board of ISGO and co-founded a public and patient involvement group (ISGOPPI) within the society. Public and patient involvement known as PPI is where patients and members of the public get involved in research, working in partnership with healthcare professionals, scientists, allied health to improve the patient experience and to ultimately make an impact on patient outcomes. Patient advocate Bridget explains what motivates her to get involved in PPI projects, how she protects herself psychologically and emotionally whilst advocating for patients.
The wider community of liver stakeholders witnessed an exciting July as new compelling data and presentations were revealed across two major meetings, EASL Congress and the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions. Throughout that month, SurfingNASH provided real-time coverage and review of the emerging stories spanning topics like drug development, new nomenclature, omics and AI, NITs and more. For this episode the trio of co-hosts, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, embark on their first exclusive discussion together in a while without any guest panelists. The overarching theme of the program observes what has made 2023 interesting and exciting thus far before offering a look into what the audience can expect to learn more about in the imminent months.This conversation starts with continued focus around the new nomenclature, but moves on quickly from there to Louise's highlight of the year. She talks about how patients now play a larger role in all facets of education and drug development. Jörn agrees with this note and suggests that the level of patient involvement in this disease is far greater than what is observed elsewhere. Roger agrees with both statements, although expresses caveats about the need over time to move forward from simply including patient voices to actually listening to what they have to say and taking guidance from them with higher degree of success. From here, Roger introduces his highlight which is a combination of NIT development that will make these tests more pivotal on patient diagnosis management and, separately, new artificial intelligence modalities that utilize biopsy results to produce better pictures and a far more sophisticated level of disease understanding than we've had to date. Jörn and Louise both comment on issues they consider pivotal and highly valuable in terms of the use of NITs and lessons from AI.Reviewing this episode and the various conversations is a strong reminder of how much information has already become available this year and what it portends in terms of future episodes and an ever-increasing explosion of new information about liver disease, drugs, testing, and so much more. If you have questions or comments around the EASL Congress or ADA meetings, the discussed therapeutics, new nomenclature, or any other topic addressed in this episode, we kindly ask that you submit reviews wherever you download the discourse.

Research and practice in health and social care needs patients to be meaningfully involved in gathering evidence and making the decisions that impact their lives. This approach improves decision making and delivers better outcomes. Professor Jules Pretty speaks to Senior Research Officer Tracey Johns, Research Officer Sally Burrows and Professor Peter Beresford from the School of Health and Social Care at the University of Essex. As Sally and Tracey say: "Our work is about brokering conversations between everyone who has an interest in health and social care, especially those with the greatest needs and vulnerabilities. We listen to people in the streets, in cafes and in community centres. We listen to people through their trusted intermediaries." You can read more about their work in their blog at: www.essex.ac.uk/blog Peter adds that COVID-19 has not helped patient involvement: "Among the many massive consequences of COVID-19 is its highlighting of the fragility of public and patient involvement in health and social care research. When we most needed the crucial evidence that comes from inclusive involvement, it wasn’t being collected." Again read more at: www.essex.ac.uk/blog
“If we can identify more quickly what is going on with children, then we can treat them faster, and hopefully halt progression or have early intervention, or make a change, bring communities together, so we can understand what's similar and different across these different diseases.” In this week's episode of The G Word, Vivienne Parry is joined by Dr Christina Waters, Senior Vice President of Genomic Insights and Solution at Congenica and Founder of Rare Science, a non-profit that accelerates treatments for children with rare diseases. Christina discusses her work with Rare Science, patient involvement and genetic interpretation. She also discusses her upbringing and the merits of industry.
We have found in all the years we have been treating animals that the best results come when the owner/client/trainer/rider/groom/human are involved directly with the animals care. Giving them something to do in the meantime helps speed healing, strengthen the human/animal bond and creates a better pack mentality. Animals are part of our team. When something happens to them it affects both partners in the relationship. The more involved you get the client the better the results, the follow through and the speed of recovery. Listen along and find out how we do it.

The 2018 North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference is here! Breathe In will be recording LIVE podcasts Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the conference on the Boomer Esiason Foundation's Facebook page. In this episode, the trio is joined by Amy, 37 years old with cystic fibrosis. Amy is currently writing Drug Development Wednesday articles on Gunnar's blog. They recap the morning live stream session: airway clearance vs. exercise, airway clearance devices and disease severity. Amy has been very vocal about patient involvement in NACFC, so the conversation turns to how Cystic Fibrosis Foundation may better include patients in an event that otherwise excludes them. Finally the podcast wraps up with a few questions from live listeners and what the group is looking forward to most over the next couple of days!

Paola Kruger talks to ecancer at IFCPE 2017 about what patients can do to be more involved in their own therapy options and how the patients input can be valuable within a clinical trial. She discusses the importance of patients creating a community, allowing patients to connect, share information and support each other throughout their care.
Originally recorded during the 4th annual Patients as Partners US event held in Philadelphia, March 2017, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Mary Stober-Murray moderates this multi-stakeholder panel to discuss what patients truly want when it comes to clinical care and patient involvement. Patients John Creveling, a Parkinson’s Foundation Research Advocate, and Deb Maskens from the International Kidney Cancer Coalition, join her and representing the industry perspective are Paul Graves from Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Dr Michelle Vichnin from Merck. Closing the gap between clinical care and patients wants/needs: • Ask patients what’s going on in their lives. • Ask patients what their goals are. • Because no one asks patients these questions, the result is they get care that’s aligned with what the doctor thinks is clinically relevant, even though it may be completely out of context to what is important to the patient. What patients want and how pharma can help: • Identify what patients and industry want respectively in terms of patient involvement and why that is meaningful for each. • What can we do to enhance this across the development pipeline? • What is getting in the way? Identify hurdles. • How can we work through this collaboratively? Initially developed out of the first DPharm event, the Patients as Partners US program seeks to understand and incorporate the patient's voice in designing clinical trials and developing a clinical endpoint, as well as vastly improve the patient's entire experience in a clinical trial. The 5th annual Patients as Partners US will be March 15-16, 2018, in Philadelphia.

The 2nd annual Patients as Partners EU event will be held January 23-24, 2018 at Radisson Blu Portman Hotel, London, UK.
It is vital to involve children, young people and families in the design, delivery and improvement of their care. Their involvement can range from individuals giving feedback, such as patient stories, to collaborative work including patient groups and communities helping to develop and commission services.In this podcast Sophie Robertson, Paediatric Department, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Kate Pryde, Department of Child Health, University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust and Kath Evans, Head of Patient Experience - Maternity, Newborn, Children and Young People, NHS England, discuss the methods of involving patients in care, and how this can lead to meaningful participation and improvement of services.Read their ADC article on this topic:Patient involvement in quality improvement: is it time we let children, young people and families take the lead? http://goo.gl/ETgGW1
Involving pain patients in health services and learning how to self-manage pain whilst working. This programme was funded by the Big Lottery Fund’s Awards For All programme in Northern Ireland. In this edition of Airing Pain, Paul Evans travels to Northern Ireland to visit a patients’ organisation, the Patient and Client Council. The Council provides patients with an independent voice in the health and social care system by involving those who live with chronic pain in the decision-making process and supporting patients who wish to make a complaint, with the overall aim of improving patient services in Northern Ireland. Louise Skelly, Head of Operations at the Council, describes her organisation’s work promoting information and advice across the healthcare system and using patients’ experience, suggestions and stories to raise awareness of chronic pain. She highlights some of the advances and improvements that the Council has brought about in recent years. Paul also speaks to pain patient and member of the Patient and Client Council’s pain strategy group, Jay Flood Coleman, who shares his own personal experiences of chronic pain which has been complicated further by a series of health issues. Board member of the Patient and Client Council, Rena Shepherd, who herself lives with chronic pain, contributes with her first-hand expertise and explains that with little adjustment on the part of employers, employees suffering from long-term pain conditions can still work full-time and be productive, with self-management pain courses proving very beneficial.
