Have you heard about the the Patient Entrepreneur Programme?    Seb is a patient entrepreneur who developed a website to support people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), following his own diagnosis fifteen years ago.    His innovation, IBD Relief, aims to help those affected by IBD to live better and more comfortably — this includes people who have IBD, their families, their friends, healthcare professionals and researchers.    Now, all patients can develop an innovative idea like Seb’s as part of the Patient Entrepreneur Programme, a programme that empowers patients with the skills to develop ideas for the benefit of patients, staff and the wider NHS.    Through lived experience, patients have a unique insight into the healthcare system. If you have an idea, innovation or creation that you believe would improve healthcare, visit https://lnkd.in/eNNidmdm to learn more. Applications close on 29 October at 6pm.

Are you a researcher involved in writing patient information leaflets? Do you think they're difficult to read and unnecessarily complicated? Having a low level of English language literacy is a well-known barrier to taking part in clinical trials. Our researcher team led by Professor Vikki Wylde, Catherine Jameson et al. worked in partnership with National Voices, marginalised community groups in #Bristol and patients to develop a framework of 74 recommendations aimed at designing accessible patient information leaflets for clinical trials. The recommendations are divided into five topics: formatting, information presentation, writing style, content and accessibility. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ea8qDB69

If you want to transform patient care through innovation and entrepreneurship why not take a 👀 and join over 1300 #NHS staff who have already started their entrepreneurial journey.
