Bonus Episode: Patient Perspectives of Navigating Life with Primary Biliary Cholangitis

In this bonus episode of the EMJ podcast, co-hosts Eleonora De Martin, Consultant transplant hepatologist at the Centre Hépato-Biliaire, Paul Brousse Hospital in France, and patient advocate, Ingo van Thiel, from the German Liver Aid Association- Deut-sche Leber hilfe e.V., provide key insights from both the patient and clinician perspectives surrounding crucial aspects of PBC that are of importance to both patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) alike. They highlight the burden of PBC, its impact on a patient’s quality of life, the importance of empowering patients in their PBC care, and the collaborative effort between patients and HCPs in managing PBC, thus enabling HCPs to understand the lived experiences of patients and how it impacts their daily lives and well-being. This podcast was organised and funded by GSK to enhance the continuing education needs and practices of healthcare professionals working with patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC).
