Being a heart patient for many years, I discovered that the voice of a patient could  be listened to in a different way.

So I started The Patient's Voice.

To involve the voice of the patients in decisions concerning them.

This is done, among other things, by participating in advisory boards of health care providers, researchers and pharma. But also by facilitating advocacy groups which enable patients to speak on behalf of themselves.

Patient involvement is a necessity in healthcare, medical research and pharma.

Do not talk ABOUT patients, talk WITH patients.

Consequently and in close coperation with Harteraad, The Patient’s Voice established the Patient Advisory Board for the STOPSTORM Project.

The board will be actively involved in the project and will have a signifacant role in providing input on several issues from the patients perspective.
