Join this 53-minute webinar featuring a conversation between patient representatives Magdalena Ciupera and Vera Guimarães, moderated by Prof. Maurizio Cutolo, that aims to improve doctor-patient communication for connective tissue disease patients. Learn about essential questions doctors should ask and patients should feel empowered to raise during consultations. Discover how to bridge communication gaps in medical settings through open-ended, empathetic questions that respect patient autonomy. The discussion covers understanding patient fears, lifestyle factors, mental health considerations, and the importance of recognizing that each patient has a unique story requiring individualized communication. Both speakers bring valuable perspectives as ERN ReCONNET ePAG representatives for Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD), with Magdalena being an experienced manager and part of a Polish patient organization, while Vera works as a clinical psychologist with experience helping chronic patients cope with their conditions.
