Ep37 - Participatory Medicine, Elder Care and 'E-Patient' Dave
Manage episode 405157617 series 2969805
Knowledge is power.
So how can we ensure our healthcare system is empowering patients?
This episode is a brilliant chat with ‘e-Patient Dave’ deBronkart, a legendary advocate of participatory medicine who came into the spotlight during a battle with cancer in 2007.
Dave is the living embodiment of participatory medicine, and reflects passionately on numerous inspiring examples of patient-led change: Long Covid, Parkinson’s Disease, Marfan Syndrome… the list goes on.
Sharing candidly on his own health battle and the preventable death of his mother due to staff shortages at a care home, it’s clear Dave has always been dedicated to giving as much to life as he can.
Our healthcare system is broken, the establishment is stubborn to change, but patient power will never let up - we can always take matters into our own hands!
