The purpose of this blog is to help The Patient’s Voice find out more about how as a diabetic patient you inform yourself with news and information on your condition and treatment.
The key questions we are looking at are
-How do you find out news and information regarding your condition and treatment? For instance do you ask your medical provider?
-Do you use the internet?
-Do you read any publications?
-Or do you find out through family and friends?
-Are you aware of any recent news or new developments relating to diabetes and its treatment?
-What have you learnt and where did you learn this news?
-How did you react to this news or information?
Obviously these are just suggestions so please bring up anything you think other readers of the blog will find of interest.

The Patients Voice The Patients Voice is one of the many patient-focused services from Healthcare Landscape. Healthcare Landscape is a medical and healthcare research company, which conducts interviews with all the different kinds of people involved in the healthcare process. They range from patients and their carers, to medical professionals like nurses, pharmacists, physicians and academics. Our mission is to find out what they think and what their experiences have been.
We can interview over the web, at home or at a special research facility; depending on what type of study it is, the choice is often yours. We also run patient diaries and blogs, so you can air your views as honestly and informally as you like. We want to ensure that you have access to the best research experience, and in turn, our clients will learn from your story. Our clients are quite diverse. They range from pharmaceutical or medical device companies, to charities and government bodies. The Patients Voice is open to anyone in the world who wants to give an opinion and would like to try to make a difference. This forum gives you power by allowing you to get YOUR VOICE HEARD.
You should always consult your physician regarding any medical issues. While we attempt to make sure the information on this site is as accurate as possible consulting a medical professional is always to be advised.
