Patient partner
What is a patient partner?
To ensure that the interests of people living with type 1 diabetes are always at the forefront, the BETTER project is conducted in collaboration with a group of patient partners, i.e. people who are living (or whose child is living) with type 1 diabetes.
To better understand participation, compensation and the role of a patient partner, our team has developed this “Patient Partner Guide”. We invite you to read it, especially if you wish to get involved in this role.
At which phase of the research can the patient partner actively contribute?
To simplify the understanding of the research process, we have divided the progression of a project into 5 steps. Below is an image illustrating these stages and indicating the involvement of health professionals alone or with patient partners in each step.
