Patient-to-patient: Talking about medical devices

Abstract

How will the regulatory changes taking place for medical devices affect patients – those who carry the true risks or benefits of having them in or on their bodies? For a down-to-earth patient perspective, European Patients’ Academy (EUPATI) fellow Estelle Jobson met with Karen Topaz Druckman, President of the Swiss patient association, HHT Swiss, to ask her some questions. Karen’s views represent years in patient advocacy including patient input.
