On Tuesday, February 10, at 6 pm, Susan Webb, former senior consultant in the Endocrinology Department at Sant Pau Hospital and honorary professor in the Department of Medicine at the UAB, will give a talk at the Navas Civic Centre entitled ‘The patient as an expert in their own illness’.
Receiving a diagnosis of a chronic illness raises many doubts and uncertainties and can affect various aspects of daily life. Understanding the patient’s experience and their real-life experience of the illness is essential to achieving high-quality healthcare.
In this talk, we will explore the role of the patient as an expert on their own illness and how educating the patient and those around them is key to understanding the diagnosis, making informed decisions and improving quality of life.
