Hello MPIP Community Members,
The MRF has been invited to serve on an Advisory Board in Atlanta, GA on Wednesday, June 25th. We would love for a caregiver to join us. The attendees will be diverse (advocates, patients, caregivers and nurses), and we will be focusing on areas of unmet need for melanoma and lung cancer patients. With this Advisory Board, the pharmaceutical company we've been invited by will be working to:
- Refine their understanding of the education and communication needs within the patient and caregiver community
- Ensure that their patient experience program as well as accompanying educational materials are best-in-class
- Tailor nursing educational materials and a peer-to-peer nursing speakers program to addresses the unique user needs of the community-based practice
If possible, we're looking for a caregiver who:
- Is currently a primary caregiver for an individual diagnosed with metastatic melanoma
- Assists an individual with all of the following tasks at least 2/3rds of the time:
o Obtaining, refilling, or administering medications
o Providing transportation to/from physician appointments or other healthcare appointments
o Speaking with doctors and/or other healthcare professionals on behalf of a or melanoma patient
o Evaluating cancer treatment options for a melanoma patient
- Is currently receiving or has received help for their patient from an advocacy organziation or pharmaceutical company with education, emotional counseling or finacances
If this sounds interesting to you and you are available to travel to Atlanta on June 24th for an all-day meeting on June 25th, please contact me directly at [email protected] or at the MRF office at 800-673-1290. An honorarium, as well as all travel and meal expenses, will be paid.
Thank you for your consideration and I apologize for the last minute request.
Sincerely,
