Patient partners play a vital role in research but face systemic barriers to fair pay. Institutions must match their equity commitments with action—transparent, equitable compensation is long overdue.

Patient partners aren't study subjects. Patient partner research has a compensation crisis. We must do better to promote equity and ensure that patient partnerships are respected and compensated. Important article below: www.bmj.com/content/388/bmj.r381 #PPIE #PatientsIncluded #AMR

@bluesky is growing, but I'm worried we lose significant voices on other platforms like X when it comes to reaching patients and the public on matters around #AMR. X=700M users I know SM is a tough battleground, but having a diverse presence is important to patients who are seeking information

As if one microblogging platform wasn't enough. Our work never ends as advocates. In my opinion, if we are going to educate patients and the public about #AntimicrobialResistance, we have to be on both. Although this one was crashing earlier today. #AMR #PatientEngagement #PatientAdvocate
