Not Just Patients
Hello and welcome to Not Just Patients, a podcast where we break barriers to meaningful patient involvement in healthcare.
We’re your hosts, Caitlin Rich and Clarinda Cerejo. We’re both rare disease patients and qualified patient experts. And we are so much more.
Join us and our guests as we challenge patient stereotypes, highlight successful collaborations in healthcare, and share energizing tales of turning adversity into advocacy.
Not Just Patients
A Year in Review┃LIVE TAKEOVER with Joel Nelson
In celebration of our First Anniversary at Not Just Patients, we hosted a very special LinkedIn LIVE Podcast Takeover with Guest Host Joel Nelson on World Health Day, the 7th of April 2025.
An award-winning patient advocate who uses his story of psoriatic-associated juvenile idiopathic arthritis to inspire change, Joel is the Founder of Psoriatic Disease UK. He also hosts The Joel Nelson Podcast and The Chronic Pain Club Talk Show, where he facilitates conversations to help build a global community of peer support and awareness for patients and carers dealing with chronic conditions.
The live conversation had Joel put our hosts Caitlin and Clarinda in the hot seat and ask them tough and fun questions about themselves and the year that has been.
This conversation, published here without any edits, offers warm laughs and camaraderie and an insider view into what goes into running Not Just Patients, working together effectively, and our vision for the year ahead.
