The Patient Voice Podcast

Our aim at Patient Voice Initiative is to ensure patient voices are seen, heard and valued in the Australian health system. But what is the patient voice and why is it important?Join us as we explore real experiences of health and healthcare through the people who most depend on it and how these stories can help us build better care for all.The podcast is hosted by the Patient Voice Initiative Chair and patient advocate, Jessica Bean, which means it is an opportunity to hear patients in discussion with another patient, rather than responding to questions from someone who does not live with the daily experience of being a patient.
