Dear Kate,
It is my pleasure to welcome you as a new INTERDEM member. The board is very happy with you both as a expert by experience and patient advocate and, as a scholar. You are a real champion!
You will have a special status as an Australian member.
Kind regards,
Myrra Vernooij
Prof. Dr. M. Vernooij-Dassen
Chair Interdem, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Scientific Institute for Quality of Healthcare
I do hope one day to be able to take off my ‘expert by experience’ and ‘patient adocate’ hats, and to be seen first and foremost as a scholar in an organisation such as this. I was speaking to to a colleague at a research meeting in Lausanne recenly, and he mentioned to me, that ever since his wife (who is a health care professional) spoke publicly about surviving cancer, all she every gets asked to present on is that… perhaps it is the joy, or frustration of being public about living positively with any condition or disability.
Congratulations
