Pharmapack Podcast: Patient Partnerships for Medical Devices

Healthcare provision is constantly evolving. Whereas in the past, decision making on treatments for patients was very much the domain of physicians and doctors, patients now feel more empowered to be involved in the decision making process. The healthcare industry is fully aware of this change and sees a constructive partnership and dialogue with patients as the best way of achieving better health outcomes.

In this podcast, we discuss with Nicholas Brooke, founder and executive director of The Synergist and founder of Patient Focused Medicines Development how the concept of patient engagement has developed and what tools are becoming available for meaningful patient engagement in the drug and medical devices development process.
