Shut Up and Listen! A Patient Takeover

About this Event 

Well this is a first for Le Pub, a patient takeover!

This Le Pub is being taken over by Joletta Belton and Keith Meldrum, both well known patient voices in the pain world.

One of our goals at Le Pub is to bring together researchers, clinicians, AND people who live with pain. We strive to give people experiencing pain direct access to the science that informs their treatment. This time we're flipping it on its head and bringing scientists and clinicians to hear the patients' perspective.

You've shut up and listened, now what?

Join Keith and Jo for a conversation about where we go from here in the evolution of pain care, with perspectives from those living with pain and the clinicians who are leading the way in meaningful patient partnerships.

Joletta and Keith will share their experiences and discuss how this has informed their knowledge, thoughts, opinions, and recommendations on the future of care for people experiencing pain.

Joletta and Keith will be joined by regular Le Pub panellist, Kat (@tmopain)another strong patient voice and Diarmuid Denneny, who will be known to many of you through his role as chair off the Physiotherapy Pain Association

This promises to be a really lively discussion and debate and we're super excited to see where Joletta, Keith, Kat and Diarmuid take us.

Kat

Kat is learning to live well with persistent neuropathic pain. After her first diagnosis of a "chronic, progressive" pain disorder, she learned to meditate and somewhat navigate the healthcare system. After receiving her second, she began discovering pain science and is finding strength in (mostly gentle) movement. She has a special interest in the ways we communicate about pain. A thoughtful presenter and engaging public speaker, Kat interprets the lived experience of persistent pain for clinicians and researchers world-wide."
