Editor's Notes

How he turned to the States, met CureOM, found them to be a great support etc. Wanted to bring this back to Canada and improve. Relationship with Kathy/SYSF.

- Enter Save Your Skin – Natalie brief intro, short description of SYSF, interest in supporting Nigel’s passion to improve OM patient care in Canada. It all started in January 2018, when Nigel wrote a blog for the SYSF website. That was a starting point for my growing understanding of this rare disease. And then, from February 2 to July 10, 2018, we ran the survey “Save Your Skin Foundation Patient Survey: Understanding Ocular Melanoma in Canada,” which assessed the experiences of Canadian patients with ocular melanoma, their care plans, and their opinions of the ocular melanoma treatment landscape. We were pleased to find an adequate number of respondents who, by sharing their experiences, confirmed our suspicions – more and better support was needed for OM patients across Canada. Set about a working plan, began compiling all of Nigel’s extensive research, and developed the concept that was to become Ocumel Canada.
- What we have done – Natalie discuss, expand on details a bit Survey of patient experiences and needs - report - important guidance from findings Outreach to form relationships Website - quick tour of highlights Official launch of Ocumel Canada was Jan-15 2019 Webinar – February 15, 2019 with Dr. Omid Hamid, LA, and Dr. Marcus Butler, Toronto Canada What we hope to do – Nigel discuss/detail Cross country checkup Challenges, some peculiar to us Report to help patients and caregivers, provide information to our agencies, advocate for improvements in identified areas, provide a network of up to date information on clinical trials, access, specialists, teams, advocacy for early detection Build patient community and support system Continue to build relationships with partners and global groups
