Not Just Patients

Hi! We’re Caitlin Rich and Clarinda Cerejo, Co-Hosts of Not Just Patients, a global podcast that aims to bring stakeholders together and break barriers to meaningful patient involvement in healthcare.

We both live with rare diseases, are EUPATI Fellows, and work in healthcare research and communications. Over the past two and a half years, we have hosted in-depth conversations with a range of healthcare stakeholders to examine how healthcare can become more inclusive, collaborative, and effective.

We were recently interviewed by the World Medical Journal, won the Acquisition International Non-Profit Organisation Award for Excellence in Driving Patient Engagement 2025, and were named Patient Advocacy Podcast of the Year in the Corporate LiveWire Awards 2025/2026.

Our guests are patient advocates, healthcare professionals, industry representatives, and other stakeholders who interact with the health system at large. Each of our guests brings in a unique perspective on patient engagement and shares stories of initiatives they’ve championed or been involved in.

We will soon be launching a special series on Underserved Communities in Healthcare. The series will explore what meaningful patient involvement looks like for communities that healthcare systems too often fail to adequately see, hear, or design for. This includes children and young patients, disabled and neurodivergent people, LGBTQIA+ communities, racial and ethnic minorities, and people from lower- to middle-income countries.
