Summary
Our patient and public involvement and engagement team lead, Antony Chuter, has lived with chronic pain for over 30 years. He recently spoke to the Alleviate research team about his experiences. Watch the fifth of six episodes from the series ‘Antony Chuter- Living with Pain and What is PPI?'
Antony, who has a number of other health conditions, chose to become a patient partner. He works with the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) team because of the difference it can make to health outcomes.
In this episode Antony explains the value of building relationships with people living with pain and empowering them through involvement in research.
“Building relationships on kindness and listening and patience with one another is key to this.”
