      <image:title>All episodes - S3, E3. Connecting voices - challenge and opportunity in patient group-industry collaborations. - Welcome to Episode 3 of Season 3 of Rarely Heard.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this episode, we explore how new and orphan medicines are developed in the UK, shedding light on both the opportunities and the challenges along the way, including: the commercial realities, the personal stakes for patients urgently seeking treatment, and the broader system that shapes these journeys. Today, we examine the complex relationships between patient organisations and the pharmaceutical industry - unpacking what it means to collaborate, advocate, and push for progress from both sides of the table.

These services play a vital role, not only for those directly affected but also for the wider healthcare system. We’ll be exploring the innovations, challenges, and collaboration models that shape these services, and the impact they have on patients, families, and healthcare as a whole. This episode features a diverse group of voices, from patient advocates and researchers to clinicians, all working together to ensure that everyone affected receives the best possible care.
