Dave deBronkart - Let Patients Help (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2013)


This book was recommended to me 'professionally', as I'm working as a volunteer patient advocate, including the improvement of listening to the patient voice during consultations with medical teams. 

The gives an easy to read overview of where the patient voice can bring value to the healthcare debate. As a patient advocate, I applaude the initiative and the informal way things are presented. However, the focus is primarily on the input from the individual patient, whereas we are trying to get the voice of all patients with a specific disease to work in an organised and systematic way with key stakeholders in order to improve services and outcomes. 

Much needs to be done, and the inventory of this book can function as a starting point.
