Episode Synopsis "A medical expert's opinion on peer support value - with Dr Laura Coates"

Hello - I'm so pleased you have joined me!  For this episode I thought it would be a bit different to ask a medical expert’s opinion on the value of peer support and how it can be helpful for people to speak to other people going through the same kinds of things so… I invited Dr Laura Coates, who is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford to have a chat with me.  We talk about her opinion of the value of peer support, her special interest in psoriatic arthritis research and a few of the patient involvement projects she is currently working on. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed chatting with Laura  Why not let me know your thoughts & experiences so I can share them here in the pod-osphere. Here's a link to the UK PsA research focussed charity I mentioned :  BritPACT  (the British Psoriatic Arthritis Consortium) and another to the Psoriatic Arthritis Priority Setting project with the James Lind Alliance  You can get in touch via [email protected]  All PsA HQ podcasts are simply a way of sharing viewpoints and opinions of the guests - they are our own and do not constitute proper professional or medical advice.
