Patient Destiny

Next Event

Over the last couple of years, Patient Destiny has been involved in a number of different types of events in order to bring more and more awareness to the need for patient engagement in healthcare management.

The next event that we are planning is entitled "An Evening with Patients". We plan on hosting an event where patients (of all types - chronic disease, short term illness and even the healthy who are trying to get healthier) can have a chance to hear more about our movement and how we are trying to improve health outcomes by involving patients in the management of their own care and the system.

Please return to this site where we will publish more over the next few weeks - identifying venue, guest speakers and agenda.

It is hoped that one outcome of "Our Evening" will be to create a Board of Patient Advisors who want to be involved in shaping our common voice.

 

 

What is happening out there?

As stated just over two months ago, the feeling is that we (healthcare) are getting very close to a major shift in the thinking about patients and their roles. I continue to become more and more positive about the feedback from other healthcare stakeholders - who were at one time, very reticent about patients becoming more empowered and effective decision makers.

This is not to say that we do not still have a long way to go - but it does look like our journey is attracting more people who want to see Patient Destiny become a reality.
