When I listen, I will make sure to understand the holistic aspect of each patient's journey and their respective family and friends. Hearing a sound is not the same as listening to a voice.

I will ensure that patients who have spoken also have an opportunity to speak their minds and put forward ideas and potential solutions for the community. I will offer my support to connect them with the right people or create teams so their ideas can be developed.

Transparency is the key to any relationship and this is even more crucial when it comes to our health, treatment options and understanding the complexity of stakeholder relations. I will ensure, to the best of my capabilities, to share as much information and give a voice to those patients who are unable to speak out.
