Suggest a topicCommunity & participation
Experience deserves
to be heard.
A recurring question. An overlooked barrier. An idea for a useful conversation. Help shape work that serves patients, families and the people supporting them.
Bring a perspective, not a polished proposal.
You do not have to be an expert, a spokesperson or a prospective client to contribute.
IAE welcomes patients, families, carers, charities, patient advocacy groups, healthcare professionals and industry colleagues. A topic suggestion is enough to begin. You can describe what deserves attention without sharing a personal medical story.

Explore an interview or contributionDevelop a community idea
Suggest a focused piece of education, a charity collaboration or another useful contribution. The purpose and available capacity shape what is possible.
Discuss a collaborationThese invitations are for community participation. They do not start a paid consultancy engagement or a treatment-access request.
A sponsor has approached your charity.
The opportunity may be valuable. Your community’s interests need to remain clear.
Before agreeing, ask who sets the purpose, what each party contributes, how participants will be involved, who can use the material and how funding or conflicts will be disclosed. IAE can help frame the questions and discuss whether a community contribution or defined advisory review would be useful.
A useful result
A clearer basis for your next conversation. Selected pro bono support can be considered for a focused charitable or community need; availability and scope are agreed individually.
Know what you are agreeing to.
Your perspective should be treated with care and used for an agreed purpose.
Agree the purpose
We discuss the topic, audience, format and intended use before asking for a substantive contribution. An introductory message is not consent to publication.
Agree how you take part
We discuss attribution, privacy, accessibility needs and review arrangements before recording or publication. You can begin with a topic alone.
Confirm the next step
We agree whether to develop the idea, seek a different contribution or signpost elsewhere. No interview, publication or partnership is promised by submitting an idea.
If you want to explore contributing without being publicly named, ask about the arrangements before sharing the experience. Ordinary email is not anonymous; there is no anonymous submission service on this site.
Community benefit comes first.
IAE is a commercial consultancy with a commitment to patient benefit. Community work is not a paid-partnership revenue stream. IAE does not accept paid community partnerships or paid editorial influence.
Ideas for donations or grants should direct support to the intended charity or beneficiaries, with the purpose, recipients, administration and independence agreed in advance. IAE is not collecting donations through this website. Each initiative will be announced only when its arrangements are confirmed.
Suggest an idea for beneficiary-directed supportA useful role. Clear boundaries.
IAE’s advice is independent of a medicine supply or logistics sale. Community information does not represent a company’s policy or an access decision.
We can consider general process questions and signpost to official information or patient organisations. IAE cannot receive, submit, broker or progress individual treatment-access requests, arrange medicines or provide medical advice.

What deserves more attention?
Start with a topic, perspective or idea. We will consider its fit, purpose and what a useful contribution could involve.
Share a question or ideaParticipation and proposed use are agreed before any recording or publication. A community enquiry does not commit you to paid work.
