In this special episode of Inside GRAPPA, we delve into the growing impact of the Patient Research Partner (PRP) Network—an essential part of GRAPPA’s mission to integrate the patient voice into scientific research on psoriatic disease.
Host Fabian Proft is joined by two influential PRPs: Maarten DeWitt from the Netherlands and Suzanne Grieb* from the United States. Together, they explore the critical role of PRPs, the evolution of the network since its inception in 2013, and how these dedicated patient collaborators are shaping treatment guidelines, influencing steering committees, and helping recruit the next generation of partners.
What does it really mean to live the principle of “Nothing about us without us”? What kinds of challenges—and transformative insights—do patients bring to the research table? And what can researchers learn from patient partners about improving outcomes, communication, and the research agenda itself?
Listen in as we discuss:
🎧 Tune in for a powerful conversation that highlights how experiential knowledge and scientific expertise can—and must—work hand in hand.
