Barriers to Patient-Centered Research Aired at Harvard Symposium | EMR & HIPAA | Andy Oram | 2 July 2018
An interesting read in this current climate of everyone aiming for patient centred approaches. I only said myself last year that research was a little bit behind, but here in the UK things are changing and making it different to the US. Personally speaking, from what I read, and hear, involving patient care in research is evolving, and, ‘it’, like any other directional change within business will not happen overnight. One must remember all the constraints behind research to begin with before throwing us patients into the fold on top of it. Regulations and policies are growing in number constanly putting limitations on research in places where the connections betwwen research and patients needs to be.
My personal opinion is that too many ‘policies’, and a lot of them quite outdated, spoil the broth!
Excerpt:
‘Involving patients in patient care is a surprisingly recent concern. There was a time when doctors made all the decisions, delivering them as if they had come directly from the entrails of an oracular temple. Visitors were severely limited at hospitals, because family members just got in the way of the professional staff. And although the attitude toward engaging patients and their families has softened somewhat in health care, rigid boundaries still exist in research.’

Rare Disease on The Mighty | 6 steps to consider before going to the ER | Ray Wood (Contributor) | 4 July 2018
Self Reflection by Carole
I love this and I struggled with this 2 weeks ago when I had a burst psoriatic blister on the underneath of the middle toe on my left foot. The smaller toe next to it was bent at birth but now it is catching the underneatrh of the toe which is how the blister burst. Well you don’t put dressing on this type of psoriasis so it needs to be uncovered so after ummming and ahhing over the weekend and saying “no” “don’t do it!” to myself a lot !! I went to A&E because there isn’t anywhere to go for a dermatological emergency such as this and it is what I have been instructed to do. I needed preventative treatment for a serious condition but treat with disdain and like a time-waster instead.
The last time I waited for a dermy appointment instead of going to A&E this is what happened >>>
I have approx 250 images
Apparently the advice that my consultants, 2 differing dermatologists, the first one retired, both giving me wrong advice was a ludicrous thing to suggest and it annoyed me because she said “I don’t know anything about your conditions” before she insulted my specialist dermatologists and GP. They stuck a plaster/band aid on it and told me to buy a box… It was the wrong way to approach my medical problem, apart from the fact I have a latex allergy so the plaster which was only on my toe for a few minutes caused painful inflammation.
What I needed was for them to somehow dress my foot so that my toe couldn’t rub against the blister and keep bursting it open without actually covering the open wound in order to prevent infection. I didn’t know it at the time but I was already carrying an infection through my Hidradenitis Suppurativa so my immune system will have been lower than normal, and yes it did get a little infected but I caught it early. It has healed but the inflammation from the psoriasis/arthralgia, or even unknown and something different altogether, is still there in the whole foot like it has been for months. Both feet are affected and both hands and it just keeps flaring.
The long and the short of it is that the trip to ER was a waste of everyone’s time and the people who treated me not only insulted me saying don’t shout at me when all I did was raise my vouice so I could hear myself over all the noise and then insulting my consultants, disrespting my disabilities and bascially left me feeling riled and fed-up!
WHY? because this is an example of why I never go to A&E even when advised if my Pain gets too severe, or my skin develops lesions in awkward places, or my abdomen pain may suggest another Obstructive Bowel Disorder.

#CopingStrategies | Balancing Work and Migraines | Living Well with Migraines
Living with migraines can be really difficult especially if you still work and they mean you take time off a lot because of them, or you require specific disability aids within the workplace to help you manage your condition as you work. Maybe these aids make you stand out and you don’t like it, or they make you look like a ‘Bosses-Pet’ even though they are for your chronic illness and work are obliged to fulfill your needs wherever they can.
People can be cruel when they don’t understand, so this help sheet could be useful for you, and also the one that follows it titled: Talking About Migraines With Your Employer and Coworkers

Patients, Power, Participation: How Enrolling in Clinical Trials Can Help Ensure That The Future of Pain Medicine is Now | SKILLFULLY WELL & PAINFULLY AWARE | KATARINA ZULAK | 7 June 2018
Excerpt:
‘Participants in clinical trials have the opportunity to access cutting-edge therapies before they are made widely available, often at leading medical facilities. Experimental treatments can be appealing to individuals who have failed to benefit from conventional treatments. There is no cost to participate in medical research and health insurance is not required. Additionally, some studies compensate individuals who join the clinical trial.’

Arthritis Foundation E-news | Lifestyle Factors & Osteoarthritis Outcomes | Five lifestyle factors that may be linked to OA.
Here are five lifestyle factors researchers have studied to see if they’re linked to OA:
- Besides possibly irritating those around you, can knuckle cracking lead to the disease?
- If your child is constantly texting, is the development of OA more likely in his or her future?
- Can wearing high-heeled shoes contribute to an OA diagnosis?
- Is high-impact, weight-bearing exercise helpful or harmful?
- Can a diet rich in vitamin E reduce the risk of OA or its progression?
‘Managing your arthritis – and the pain and restrictions that come with it – is much easier if you know what to avoid and what can be beneficial. We want to arm you with useful information that helps put you in control!’

Try This, Not That: JA Complementary Therapies | Arthritis Foundation E-newsletter | 6 June 2018
Complementary Therapies for JA | Try this, not that: find out which therapies to try and which ones to avoid.
Many families turn to complementary therapies to help ease the pain of a child with arthritis.
That can be a good thing – just be sure whatever you’re considering works for your situation.
- Exercising with free weights and activities like jumping rope can improve both physical and emotional health without increasing pain. But avoid high-impact sports.
- Relaxation exercises may diminish pain intensity … and they cause no negative side effects.
- Water therapy is a good way to limber up stiff joints in the morning, and relax tight, aching muscles at bedtime.
- Massage can relax muscles, lessen pain and improve circulation.
Learn all about complementary therapies for JA.
They may provide you with new methods to help manage your child’s pain.

Eyeforpharma – Mission statement:
Our mission is to make pharma more open and valued
The ultimate driver for the pharmaceutical industry’s health is meeting the needs of patients, otherwise it will cease to matter. For healthcare to be as good as it could be, the strength, skills and resources of our industry need to be fully integrated into health outcomes and we need pharma experience at the decision-making table.
We believe the industry must focus on a business model combining service with product, with patients at the center.
