Tomorrow's Panel ➡️ Patient Stories Without a Fixed Address


Hi!

A quick reminder that tomorrow is our inaugural PA&E Roundtable event.

Wherever the patient advocacy function formally sits in an organization research, communicators are often the ones helping translate those patient insights into stories that resonate internally and externally.

Tomorrow’s conversation will explore how teams gather those insights, how communicators partner across functions, and what it takes to represent patient experiences thoughtfully and responsibly in our work. The discussion will draw on the real-world perspectives and examples our panelists have encountered across their careers.
