Experienced Patient Advocate active as a volunteer in the non-profit sector in Europe focused on rare diseases and especially rare eye disease. Background in finance and business strategy. Healthcare is in crisis and we need to collaborate to make things better – researchers, clinicians, regulators, payers, industry and patients, we all need to play our part. And across borders too – separatist nonsense like Brexit does not make anything better and we have to expend additional scarce resource to try and overcome the problems it creates
