Derick’s journey has taken him from translational research to his previous role as CEO of IPPOSI—the largest patient network in Ireland—where he spent close to a decade championing partnerships between patients, government, academia, and industry to shape patient-centered health policy. At PFMD, he now leads international efforts to bring all stakeholders together to transform healthcare for and with patients.
In this episode, we delve into why multistakeholder collaboration is so crucial for patient engagement (and tough to do well!), and how we can move beyond good intentions to lasting change.
Derick shares practical examples from Ireland and globally; tackles the barriers that keep patients’ voices from truly shaping decisions; and offers actionable steps for building more inclusive, impactful partnerships. Whether you’re a patient, professional, or changemaker, this episode is packed with insights on turning collaboration from a talking point into real, everyday practice.
