“I feel relieved listening today - not because the topic is easy but because there is hope” - MEP @spietikainen, host of our meeting today, closes the day by speaking on developments in health #genderequity and the need for legislation to go further.

.@RichelleFlan expands on issue of gender as a barrier to participation in #research - women are the majority of caregivers and do not have the freedom to participate due to costs involved in childcare, travel etc.
#BrainMindPain
.@pain_europe President, @thatdeirdreryan raises an important issue- the lack of reimbursement for patient involvement in research. This involvement is essential & must be funded!
@MoroElena4 acknowledges that this is a barrier to involvement in clinical trials.
