To mark World Haemophilia Day on April 17, we have partnered with the medical communications and market access company, Prime Global and sister agency, HCD Economics, on a feature article about taking meaningful action and creating real change to patients’ lives.
In the Prime Global article, titled “Haemophilia awareness: building trusted relationships between patients and industry,” On The Pulse director, Laurence Woollard, shares his lived-experience and insights into the crucial role of patient education to reduce health inequalities. Also, he describes the significance of the contaminated blood scandal and its relation to shared decision-making within clinical practice today.
Several important research studies are referenced throughout the article. This includes parts I and II of “The Cost of Haemophilia across Europe – a Socioeconomic Survey” (CHESS), co-developed by HCD Economics, that draw attention to quality of life issues, burden of illness and socio-economic societal burden of haemophilia, amongst other factors. Moreover, the Patient-Reported Outcomes, Burdens, and Experiences (PROBE) project, led by Mark Skinner and supported by numerous industry partners, has been instrumental in providing a direct understanding of what living with haemophilia means to an individual patient.
