My article

Hello ladies,
I am presenting at my professions international conference in Adelaide later this month so they decided to do a lead up article. 
I thought I would share. Sorry the photo is on it's side and I look terrible in the photo!

  • Excellent!  Best wishes as you'll awaken their senses - one of their profession telling it as it is from a patient viewpoint 
    Take care
  • Good on you @JoeyLiz There are a few of us here who have been working as consumer advocates for years, but we are usually 'patients' when viewed by the medical fraternity. The amount of resistance I have met while trying to explain the user perspective ranges from tolerant with a hint of eye roll to patronising to  downright rude. I don't have a medical qualification so I don't have a valid view; my opinion is driven by fear or ignorance or resistance misinformation  or Google.
    No one can say that about you. You will be a better practitioner for your experience and hopefully you can help change the perception of the person on the table. Mxx
  • That's a fantastic interview @JoeyLiz. What thoughtful, considered answers. Congratulations and good luck with your presentation! K xox
  • Well done @joeyliz.  When and how long are you going to be here in Adelaide?  Maybe we can grab a coffee if you're free?
  • @Sister oh i would love to but i have no free time unfortunately. Conference is 4 full days from the 28th
  • Hello @JoeyLiz,
    Fantastic article, all the best with your presentation later this month!
