On this Vital Health Podcast, Duane Schulthess has a conversation with Bettina Ryll, the founder of the Melanoma Patient Network Europe. Bettina is regarded as one of the world’s leading Patient Advocates, who dedicated herself to advocacy after the death of her husband from cancer. While most patient representatives don’t have a medical background, Bettina has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from University College London. From 2015 – 2018, Bettina chaired the ESMO Patient Advocates Working Group, which was the first time that position was held by a non-oncologist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
