Patient Voices

These articles are written by patients and carers and provide learning for clinicians from a patient's experience.

Articles focus on one particular topic, including what it is like for patients to live with a condition or navigate the healthcare system. They can focus on aspects of treatment, offer a new angle on a familiar situation or ask controversial questions. Ultimately the article should give healthcare professionals practical things that they can do differently tomorrow due to reading the article.
