Carolyn Taylor: The role of lived experiences in healthcare

Carolyn Taylor shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Excited to be participating in a debate with the unparalleled Professor Jeff Dunn around this impactful topic.

What voice is more valuable than the patient voice when it comes to healthcare and health-related conversations? The integration of patient experiences into decision-making on cancer care is increasingly important and impactful.

Join our session on the role of lived experiences in healthcare, alongside a diverse group of stakeholders, including representatives from WHO, civil organizations, policymakers, and the private sector, during World Cancer Congress on September 17th.

We are all part of this conversation, and the insights we gain will surely elevate patient outcomes in all our efforts. Looking forward to meeting you and engaging in these invaluable conversations together.”
