Patient experience project

We are collecting anonymised patient experiences to enhance healthcare student education, particularly medical students. This will allow students to learn from the patient perspective complementing their scientific knowledge. This project aims to shift the focus of education to be more patient-centred.

Select one or more specialities related to the condition (optional)

A maximum of 8 tags are supported.

What condition does your experience relate to? e.g. breast cancer, type two diabetes

This experience can relate to yourself, family or friends

Please describe an important experience related to the condition

You could include information about intial symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and what really mattered to you and your family.

How does the illness impact your life/the life of the individual?

What do you wish you could tell a healthcare student about your experience to help them learn?

By submitting this form you allow your anonymised story to be uploaded onto the SmashMedicine platform to help students learn about disease from a patient’s point of view.

Thank you for helping with this project. If you would like to submit more experiences, please feel free to complete the questionnaire again.
