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.

I've said it a few times this week. The new #UNGA political declaration mentions participatory approaches, including patients

In the UK, we have the NIHR Involvement Guidance. This should be relevant in all countries

Such a pleasure to join the Biocodex Foundation to share my story about surviving #AMR in November last year. Very interesting presentations around the microbiota and antibiotic resistance from fellow speakers

Not really, I think it comes down to their personal preferences and features on a platform. For example, TikTok grew at a massive rate among the youth because of the features it offered. I think, unfortunately, there's still a long way to go until we see BlueSky match X.

@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

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a global health security threat.

Which conferences or meetings do you think are worth attending this year for #AntimicrobialResistance?

Let's keep up the momentum after the UNGA.

I'm looking for recommendations as a patient survivor and advocate.

"Participatory Approaches" as highlighted in the 2024 UN Political Declaration for #AMR matter - that includes listening to patients, carers, and the public.

Pleased to contribute to this article as an #AntimicrobialResistance survivor

How to detect more antimicrobial resistant bacteria in our waterways Antimicrobial resistance is hard to monitor because there’s no standard way to detect it. Here’s how it could be better identified in rivers, streams and seas.

I met @vanessacarteramr.bsky.social at HIMSS about 10 years ago. I greatly admire how she has developed from a "helpless, uninformed patient" to a fierce and effective advocate for other patients via her #AntimicrobialResistance advocacy work. #epatients #AMR

Not realising what the term #AntibioticResistance meant, I was a helpless, uninformed patient who couldn't play an equal role
