In episode 9 of the In-Focus podcast, Avril is joined by Chad Andrews from Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC). Chad works at FBC as Senior Advisor on Policy, Equity and Access.
In their discussion, Avril and Chad discuss the multifarious projects and educational initiatives he has been involved in with FBC, including Vision Class, the Young Leaders Program, Vision Quest and FBC’s ongoing webinar series View Point, which ranges from presentations on scientific research, such as stem-cell therapy, to discussions on social distancing and coping with sight loss during COVID-19.
Chad also explains to Avril the burden-of-illness studies being conducted by FBC during this time to understand the challenges and obstacles of living with vision loss from the patient’s perspective.
It’s certainly not an episode to be missed!
