Patient Experience in Practice: Ovarian Cancer

Our clinical education programme encompasses two strands of education. The first is aimed at medical students to raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. The second is aimed at clinicians working in gynae-oncology. All sessions are centered around patient experience and aim to amplify patient voices. 
 

For medical students - Survivors Teaching Students

Survivors Teaching Students cover the symptoms of ovarian cancer in a way that is personal and memorable. Students will hear directly from someone diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have the chance to ask them questions about their experience.

Enhancing Patient Experience

We offer online education sessions for healthcare professionals to inform your medical practice as you care for those with ovarian cancer.   

Sessions highlight the diversity of patient experience, with particular focus on health inequalities and the barriers to care faced by underrepresented groups. We offer simple but meaningful ways for you to address these inequalities and apply the learning in your everyday practice. We also cover the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer and the importance of considering ovarian cancer early on as a possible diagnosis.    

During the sessions you will hear directly from people affected by ovarian cancer to better understand the patient experience and what you can do to improve ovarian cancer care for all. There will be time for questions and all attendees will be sent follow-up resources that recap key learning points.
