My thoughts are with you. I’m sorry for your loss

Tagging you in @simonrstones.bsky.social

I'm honoured to serve on the international steering committee for the PxP Conference 2025, a virtual global event championing the leadership of patient experts in healthcare transformation. The time has come to unleash the full power of lived experience... patients are no longer passive participants, but active drivers of research and care that truly reflect the needs of our diverse society. This is the democratisation of healthcare: bold, inclusive, and guided by those with the deepest expertise - people living with health conditions every day. Together, we're redefining what meaningful, equitable, and person-led health systems look like."

PxP Steering Committee Member Simon Stones shares a quote on the importance of patient partner leadership and why they should be at the forefront of initiatives like PxP.
