Advocacy information from The Consortium of MS Centers


AdvocacyPrintE-mail
The Advocacy page provides resources and tools to ensure that patients' needs and wishes are taken seriously
and their best interests are put first.  Advocates must be skilled go-betweens, educators, troubleshooters,
negotiators, and proactively vocal in tricky situations. In the role of patient advocate, the healthcare team
must walk a fine line between paternalism and interest protection.  Respecting patients as partners, and
promoting their perspective is an essential part of advocacy (Mitchell & Bournes, 2000).
