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.

Please visit our submission guidelines for more details.
