Dear Members,

You might have received a mail from PatientView, seeking input to their study on the corporate reputation of the pharmaceutical industry in 2015— from the perspective of patient groups. We also know that some of you have not received it, and would be interested in taking part. We therefore relay the information so that you can make your own decision as to whether you would or not like to take part.

Yours

Alain Cornet
Secretariat – LUPUS EUROPE

REQUEST RECEIVED FROM PATIENT VIEW:

For the 5th year, PatientView is asking health campaigners across the world to help compile the annual CORPORATE REPUTATION INDEX OF PHARMA

• The Index is taken seriously by the pharma industry as part of its efforts to become more patient-friendly.
• The results of this 2015 survey will show you how your colleagues rate the world’s various pharmaceutical companies in 2015 (whether good or bad).

About the questionnaire
The survey is open to any health advocacy organisation worldwide. Please circulate this email to any other patient groups that you think might also be interested. The survey has only 10 very simple questions, and will probably take no more than 10-15 minutes of your time to complete. The survey is anonymous, unless you prefer to specify otherwise.

To be sure your response is made in time, please complete before Monday, 18th January 2016.

To enter the survey, please click on the following live link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/corp-reputation-pharma-2015

To thank you for your participation in this study …

… all respondents to any PatientView study get a final copy of the resulting report (if they wish).

A brief statement of clarification

This 2015 study intends to determine how patient groups around the world perceive the pharmaceutical industry, with the aim of improving standards throughout the industry to levels that are satisfactory to patients.

The study is paid for solely by PatientView, a UK-based research and publishing group that specialises in studying trends in the patient-advocacy movement, and which passes valuable and unique information back to patient groups. All NGOs participating in the study can receive a free copy of the report on the survey results (if they wish to). PatientView funds the whole exercise by selling the report to any pharma companies that wish to read it.

Further information about PatientView reports can be found at our website: http://www.patient-view.com/bull-corp-reputation.html

After completing the survey you will be taken to PatientView’s website where you can see press releases for the corporate reputation studies conducted for 2014

🧠 As lupus specialist Prof Laurent Arnaud clearly states, “Your experience of brain fog is real. It is common. It deserves attention.”

That is why the Lupus Brain Fog Severity Scale (LBFSS) was developed: to provide a lupus-specific way to assess the severity and impact of brain fog and related cognitive symptoms.

Importantly, people living with lupus were not simply asked to approve a finished questionnaire. Their own descriptions of brain fog were the starting point for its development.

🎥 Watch Prof Laurent Arnaud and our Chair, Jeanette Andersen, explain how people living with lupus helped shape the #LBFSS from the very beginning.

🦋 Lupus Europe is proud to have contributed to this international work and to have supported meaningful patient involvement throughout the development process.

‼️Today is #WorldSjogrensDay, a chronic autoimmune disease that affects 14-17.8% of #lupus patients.

💁‍♀️ Although Sjögren's is a systemic disease that goes far beyond dryness, dryness remains a frequent, significant and disabling symptom.

‼️Today is #Worl

🧠 Brain fog is real.

For many people living with lupus, it affects everyday life, yet it has often remained difficult to measure.

✅ The new Lupus Brain Fog Severity Scale (LBFSS) is the first questionnaire designed specifically to assess brain fog in lupus.

🦋 Lupus Europe is proud to have contributed to its development through meaningful involvement of people living with lupus. It's another example of how patient perspectives help shape better research and better tools.

🎥 Watch Prof Laurent Arnaud and our Chair, Jeanette Andersen, explain why the LBFSS is such an important step forward in lupus care.

🦋 Understanding lupus is crucial for effective management and self-management.

💁‍♀️ Many of us know what lupus is, and we’ve been learning from trusted resources like #Lupus100 and #LupusGPT.

🤔 But… how much do we really know about SLE?
Do we know as much as we think we do?

𝐓𝐫𝐲 #𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭❗

🎯 SLAKE (Systemic Lupus Assessment score for Essential Knowledge) is a quick and easy online tool designed for people living with lupus to test their knowledge and learn more about the disease.

📝 44 questions, randomly selected from a pool of 394
⏱️ Around 15 minutes to complete
🌍 Available in 20 languages
📊 A score for each lupus domain and an overall knowledge score

💡 Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with lupus for years, SLAKE helps you identify what you already know and where there is room to grow. It is not about passing or failing. It is a chance to learn more and feel more confident when taking part in decisions about your health.

📣 The SLAKE study is still open! By taking part, you are helping researchers understand which aspects of lupus are well understood and where important knowledge gaps remain.

These insights could help guide the potential development of better information resources and tools, tailored to the real needs of people living with lupus in different countries and regions.

SLAKE has been made possible thanks to the leadership of Prof Laurent Arnaud and Dr Antonin Satrin, and the collaboration of an international team of lupus experts and patient representatives.

🥰 Lupus Europe has proudly contributed to this project since the very beginning, and we encourage people living with lupus worldwide to take part while the study remains open.

🔗 Complete SLAKE today and let us know what you think!
