* 𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐰 , 𝐢'𝐦 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 around to posting nina’s introduction , but my theme made me upset so this will be viewed on dashboard only for now ! my name’s 𝐛𝐚𝐲 , i prefer either she / her or they / them pronouns , and i reside in the est timezone . i’m in my final year of college so sometimes i won’t be around all day , but since i only work two days and all of my classes are online , chances are i’m around ! i’m starting this little introduction at exactly 2:30am , so chances are this will be posted at like ... 4am ( lol ) , but i’m super excited to write her out as this will be my first group in about a month or so ! i’m comfortable with messaging through the im’s if that’s better for you , but we could also plot on discord if you’d like ! also , don’t forget to stream blackpink’s new single ‘ ice cream ’ with selena gomez !

i . prosopography .

nina’s story begins during the chance meeting of her parents , ara kim and hyun-woo min , when they were in their early twenties . most would assume that they weren’t compatible for one another as ara was the spoiled child of the kim family , who were known around south korea for owning various luxury buildings and apartment complexes in the gangnam area . hyun-woo on the other hand was your regular college student who worked a job he hated to pay his tuition , but he had big dreams as he wanted to someday own his own architecture firm . when the mindless ara wrecked her fancy car into hyun-woo’s beat up toyota , it was love at first sight .

it was a whirlwind relationship as the couple was engaged within six months of their meeting , and married within eight . with their access to unlimited funds , the couple had a lavish wedding , and hyun-woo no longer had to worry about his tuition payments . now focused on his degree without having to worry about money , he found himself on the development team at his new family’s company shortly thereafter his graduation .

with hyun-woo having his dream job and ara having her dream husband , the couple was thriving . they lived in a beautiful apartment that overlooked gangnam , and they had gone on vacation to bali when ara revealed that she was pregnant . the couple was overjoyed to be welcoming their baby into the world , and to say that they were obsessed with her from the moment they saw her in the first ultrasound and she was the size of a lime . the couple welcomed their little baby nine months later , and they loved every inch of her the moment she was placed on ara’s chest .

growing up , nina enjoyed the spoils that her family provided for her . she went on amazing trips , wore the best clothes , and even got pushed around in a six hundred dollar stroller . despite that , though , nina was a very precocious child , picking up on her developments quickly . as she grew older , nina’s parents saw that their daughter was interested in a variety of things , so when she was five , she began taking piano lessons , and it was evident that she had a natural gift .

as the years passed , nina continuously excelled in her academics and the extracurriculars that she tried out for . as she attended the best schools in seoul , nina was the one who answered questions first , she was the first to sign up , and the first to complete tests . nina was the one who constantly won awards from her school , and she was definitely the one who never allowed for someone else to take her place .

it was something of a shock to her parents that she wanted to attend college in the states , but her parents were not the ones to tell her no . so , nina went on to be accepted into holloway , and she majors in business economics with a political science minor ! i’d say that she’s involved in a lot of student organizations like student government , and she’s a member of the tennis team ! as nuts as it sounds , she’s on the tennis team for the cute outfits , but she loves the sport as well .

ii . temperament .

alexa , play ‘ i don’t care ’ by ariana grande ! she doesn’t care about what other people have to say or how people feel about her , especially considering how shameless she can be in most of her actions . she’s ridiculously blunt , but really hates when people are bitchy for no reason ? i don’t know , a paradox considering that she can be bitchy for no reason too FKNDSFUDS . responds heavily to the energy that she’s given . fully believes that the sun and moon determines her mood for the day .

sUpErIoRiTy CoMpLeX ? gOd CoMpLeX ? sounds about right . she doesn’t outright brag about herself all the time , but she’s definitely the type to bring it up when it applies to the conversation . nina is the mean friend that everyone needs , and has a weird dislike for people who are too nice .

nina isn’t a stone cold bitch , though . she likes having fun , she likes to laugh , and she especially likes to spend time with her friends . she’s capable of empathy and compassion , yes . will she show that all the time ? of course not ! considering that she’s an only child , nina is used to having all eyes on her , so she has no shame in her fame when she comes back to farrow house wearing last night’s dress and carrying her heels .

iii . headcanons .

she already knows that graduate school is in her future , but she hasn’t decided on where she wants to go yet .

nina resides in farrow house , and she’s probably the worst kind of roommate there is considering how type a she can be at times . her room ( or side of the room i’m not sure of the setup ) is relatively organized at all times . she’s a lover of white , but white with color , so she keeps the tones light with soft shades of pink scattered throughout ! she likes a gold accent , and everything has its own place .

doesn’t like to leave her bedroom without making her bed or picking things up . at night she may just slip out of her clothes and go to bed , but she’s definitely going to pick it up that next morning , even her walk of shame clothes KNJFDISF .

despite her behavior at times , nina is someone who studies hard because she doesn’t like anything less than an A . although i will say that she obsesses over her grades , but she knows that if she slacks then she’ll get slacker grades .

this is pointless KFNDJSF but i draw a lot of her style inspo from itsyuyan on instagram , but she also loves to dress in a quality th*t dress when she had the chance to NFJDBSFDS . i love jennie’s long hair , so nina’s own is canon to that , and she definitely had the iconic e-girl streaks .

iv . wanted connections .

i would love to have literally anything that ya’ll throw at me ! some basics that i’d like to write out are best friends , academic rivals , friends with benefits , confidant(s) , frenemies , good / bad influence , one night stand(s) , flirtationship , enemies with benefits , and a current or ex fling !

i love a good women loving women scenario , so i’d like to have an ex girlfriend for her ! i see them as being on good terms and they simply drifted apart , but they’re really close ! sometimes they can get a little touchy feely with one another so hello 👀 .

i would die for literally any form of angst that you could possibly think of ? angsty friends , angsty exes , angsty anything . i love to put myself through misery so honestly … bury me six feet under and i will literally thank you .

all aboard the heartbreak train ! this ties back into my love for angst , but some form of an ex or maybe even someone who she go close to but it didn’t really work out ?

maybe even a will they won’t they ? but essentially , clearly these two have feelings but for some reason things didn’t work out for them and now they’re probably in a limbo or trying to determine where they’re headed but they absolutely refuse to talk about it ! all of their friends notice but they blow them off and ok let me relax and actually allow us to plot , but just some potential ideas !

i will have a desired relations tag that i’ll be updating as frequently as i can , but if none of these work for you or if you have something you see araminta filling , then please let me know ! we can totally brainstorm or if you want , then we can work on chemistry !

#holloway.intro #i finally did it ya'll NJFJDHBSFDS #instead of posting this at 4am i'm posting it at 5pm but alas .. it's here my friends

𝚒’𝚍 𝚔𝚎𝚎𝚙 𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚢𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚖 ; that there is APRIL RIGGS , notorious for being ( deceitful ) and ( superficial ) , but there are times when she can be ( charismatic ) and ( strategic ) . i've heard that she could pass as a MEGAN FOX doppelganger , but i don't see it . the ( thirty-five ) year - old cis woman has been in town for ( two weeks / majority of her life ) and they are a ( socialite ) by day and murder suspect by night . they tend to spark images of swarovski crystal champagne flutes raised in the air , a 14 carat diamond ring left on the bedside table , a singed undergrad diploma , a stranger in the mirror , a stadium full of empty applause , the lethal combination of a stepford wife and stifler’s mom . you’ll know when they walk by because they always seem to be blasting feeling good by NINA SIMONE . it truly explains why they're known as THE TROPHY .

to know:

UPDATE: her full bio is here. gives more important insight into the relationship she has/had with her mother.

triggers: neglect, brief mention of statutory rape

i got very ‘poetic’ in the ‘a little further’ portion of the app and described her as a trophy in my first bullet point… so there you have it! you see, no matter what she did, she was always only praised for her appearance. just a trophy!!

she was born (in taunwick) to a very successful politician and her trophy husband. therefore, she spent much of her time alone as her mother was busy campaigning or throwing galas while her father, her mother’s trophy husband, went along for the ride.

there were very few times they spent any ‘quality time’ together – picture what i think was the first scene (one of!) in mommie dearest where joan crawford is turning her daughter’s birthday into a photo op. that was pretty much their definition of quality family time. it could be successfully argued that april’s mother figures all came in the form of nannies.

it could also be successfully argued that, unlike lionel, april is part of the daddy issues™ club. as will be very evident afhdliuwdsjn

probably also part of the mommy issues™ club aflhskd

mother riggs probs would go off about wire hangers but... u kno... not to the mommie dearest point...

what should be taken away rn is that she was literally raised to be shallow fhlakjds

she began an entitlement act rather young - there were only two people who saw through it, one of which will be sent in as a wc and the other… being harley!! bc gotta get april connected to the murders somehow!! gotta give her a reason to stay in taunwick too but!! that’s a problem for a future bullet.

there are those annoying kids who refuse to share their toys and all. and they usually grow out of it. but april… did not. elementary? demon child. junior high? demon preteen. high-school? demon teenager.

now!! on the topic of high-school!! if her age is any indication, she is not part of the class of 2000 - if i have my math right (possibly don’t, i once legit studied for a math exam and wound up still only getting a 34), she was part of the class of 2003. that being said, one year of hers did overlap with everyone else’s - she knew chastity as an acquaintance at best, although she still recognized harley as a friend!! good for her!!

that being said, chastity’s murder….. didn’t have much of an effect on her…. ya it’s v tragic….. but it’s been a week guys :\

her alibi: she was in the woods with someone…….. when pressured to say with who bc animals and trees can’t confirm that…… she was ashamed to say it was someone on the lacrosse team. she usually aimed higher :\

anyway, they all graduated and it was HER TIME TO SHINE!! it was HER TIME to USURP THE THRONE and become THAT BITCH of the school!! probably had .3 real friends, what with the exception of the one wc i plan to send in!! that... was inspired by “jenny” by studio killers… we can’t wait to send it.

did everything she perceived as the it girl stuff, what from joining those cool teams to being crowned her own prom queen to……………. sleeping with teachers. 1) alexa play “daddy issues” by the neighbourhood, 2) fire them.

fun fact tho!! she got into a hella good school. as in the ivy that is columbia. by what was….. partially her own merit…… partially her mother giving a very generous donation. have to make the family look PERFECT!!

she received an art history degree on what was….. partially her own merit…… partially sleeping with professors (see two bullets above.)but... graduation came… and what do you do with an art history degree from an ivy…

you marry rich!!!!!!!

in the perfect parallel that she did not even recognize as a parallel because she’s big dumb, she found a marginally older politician (....it’s gonna be a wc so it’s gonna depend on the player but it’s gonna be 50+ hfdlsjak wld make it older but there j aren’t enough resources!!) and was like *martha (...virginia woolf?) vc* “yes, yes. [he] will do.” *end vc*

in spite of having become marginally more introspective than she was in high-school… she still doesn’t recognize her daddy issues :\

they got married. in spite of it being beautiful and expensive and gaudy, she really didn’t feel anything?? was lowkey GLAD her parents weren’t there (and not in the angsty ‘they never show up to anything anyway :\’ way, in the ‘this is literally wasting everyone’s time’ way). their marriage started and continued as a very unfulfilling one. he, in perfect politician style, began having affairs exactly as she, in perfect april style, began having affairs. while they never directly spoke of them, they knew the other was involved with other people.

why april didn’t divorce him is an excellent question. is it out of a certain selflessness, not wanting to do any damage to his career?? is it out of selfishness, not wanting to lose that sugar daddy?? a little bit of both. probably more the latter tho!!

anyway!! her father finally divorced her mother and she was like “i’m…. gonna say i’m gonna go be a good daughter…. go comfort my mother in this trying time….. but jk i j wanna get away from my husband lmao”

again, barely knows her mother. learned various different languages so she could have fair conversations with the foreign nannies.

but….. he has a reputation to keep up!! and his wife straight-up disappearing and leaving him would be 100x worse than a divorce…. so here he comes!! to save the day!! and his reputation!!

as you can imagine, between her husband figuring out her real motive + her…. barely liking her mother, she would be inclined to return to nyc… but that’s where harley’s murder will come in!! the perfect crime!! literally!!

TL;DR:

a former It Girl™ with daddy issues, mommy issues, and a fear of commitment.

CONNECTION IDEAS:

**open to any gender unless otherwise specified

her husband (m): WILL BE BEING SENT INTO THE MAIN.

that connection based off of “jenny” (f/nb): WILL BE BEING SENT INTO THE MAIN.

various affairs: gotta have those if she’s resigned to a new life… still with her husband :\

‘friends’ from the class of 2002-2005: i think that’s the right range for when she would’ve been THAT BITCH in the high-school?? but ya!! ppl chillin w her for the clout and she was like “this is validating”

enemies from the class of 2002-2005: again, i THINK that’s the right range?? but wow. ppl she didn’t even TRY to be nice to. or ppl who j straight-up hated her. there were plenty of reasons!!

hookups / ‘dates’ from the class of 2002-2005: again with the math?? But ya!! more inclined to ‘date’ those cool folks, but apparently didn’t discriminate with her hookups if her alibi is any clue.

neighbors: up in the hills chillin right next to a very watered down political joan crawford, her trophy husband who yeet’d out of existence, and eventually her very shallow daughter and said shallow daughter’s husband who’s probs closer in age to said very watered down political joan crawford. what could go wrong!!

acquaintances of any sort from the class of 2000: gotta get them skels!!

more to come!!

Because I miss our music talks on tumblr 🤷🏼‍♀️

1. A song that reminds you of [character/ship].

4. A song you associate with a headcanon you have about [character/ship].

5. A song that you associate with [show/movie/etc] because of exactly one (1) applicable lyric. Share the lyric!

13. A song you associate with your least favorite character.

Ohh this one is interesting, very different.

A song that reminds you of [character/ship]. -Okay, so we know I've been watching The OC, because apparently it's the year 2004... And Ryan and Marissa are 2 of the main characters. There's a very distinct scene in that show where a cover of Running up that Hill is playing. (The music in that show is perfect)

A song you associate with a head canon you have about [character/ship]. -Hmm, I really don't know if I have one.

A song that you associate with [show/movie/etc] because of exactly one (1) applicable lyric. Share the lyric! -Every time I hear House of the Rising son I think of Sons of Anarchy. But I feel like Never Leave Harlan Alone is so reminiscent of Justified. And it's that main line "And it's there I read on a hillside gravestone You will never leave Harlan alive" I think of the Givens gravestones every time I hear those lyrics.

A song you associate with your least favorite character. -You know that song in like season 6 of Sons that Tara sings? Yea it's that one because I can't stand Tara. 😂

WHO: The Eves WHAT: The Eves attempt to come to a conclusion on how they would like to proceed with the boys. POVs differ but ultimately, the majority settles on meeting the boys on neutral ground (the waterfall) to discuss the similarities of their shared predicament. WHEN: Day 13 NOTE: For future reference.

odessa "Okay, so before we all head to bed, I think we should finally discuss this. Who thinks we should talk to the boys? You know, to figure out why our predicaments are so similar."

zoya “Well, I mean obviously I’m down to talk to them. I just don’t think they’re much wiser than we are…”

shane shane just lets out an unhelpful grunt, pulling her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them.

grace Grace raised her hand to cast her vote but when Zoya spoke, she realised they were supposed to provide a reasoning for it, "I just think like, we're better off in a bigger group, like there's more resources and shit," she suggested, "-and the guys are mad chill, like they can do stuff that we can't or don't want to do too, I think it's just good," she shrugged her shoulders, assuming the others would feel fairly similar, unaware of the shit storm that was brewing behind the poker faces of some of them. jude "i mean, have you seen them?" jude raised her eyebrows. "that have an axe, and that's it. they don't seem smart, or like they have resources, or anything like that. talking to them would probably be a fucking mistake. we already wasted a bunch of our shit babysitting their asses, making sure the broken-leg kid didn't die." and more than that, they weren't one of us. they were guys, most of them tall, most of them feeling uncomfortable familiar. she would be happy if they fucking disappeared. "i mean, what can they do that we can't? we're badass. we're a hell of a lot tougher and smarter than they are."

clarke "i just want to be with my brother. i can vouch for them. and grace is right, we're better with the numbers"

grace Grace nodded her head in agreement with Clarke, pointing at her for a moment or so without saying anything, deciding that it was mad unfair to force her to be apart from her brother. He was her brother.

alexa “I agree with safety in numbers.” She adds, she doesn’t want this conversation to turn into a Lex wanting dick convo so she keeps it simple. “Plus that Joe guy seems real lovely and helpful. Like….he’s into shelter and whatever. And besides it’s literally Clarke’s brother there, we can’t block them out. It wouldn’t be fair…” — “not to mention as far as we know, we are only people on this island. In two weeks time they’ll be just as familiar as we are to each other…”

joss Joss shook her head before she found the words to speak, "-but that's not true," she argued with Lex, "They're not like us, that's not true. Boys think differently, they act differently, we can't predict them as much as we'd love to say we can. Yeah, Clarke, you and your brother are different but the rest? We don't know and we won't know in two weeks either,"

erin Though Erin didn't really want to speak up any more, she's been thinking about what the others wanted to do about the boys they'd met for most of the day. She thought about her mother, some dumb saying she used to say to Erin about how you had to say how you felt, because not very many people can accurately guess. She swallowed before she spoke. " I'm gonna be honest with you guys, 'cause that's what you deserve. I don't want anything to do with them. " She realises that this might strictly contradict how hard she'd tried to help Callum but she hadn't felt like she had a choice then. " You guys can talk to them and whatever if you want, but I'd just ask you don't tell them where our shelter or our stuff is. " Maybe that's a bit ridiculous, she realises after she says it, and so tacks on. " Not until you get to know them a bit better, at least. "

shane looking to joss and then erin when they spoke up, shane nodded her head. she knew jenny wanted to know more about why the two groups were there and shane cared about them that much. but she just couldn't see this ending well. "i agree with joss and erin." her eyes drifting to jenny as if to gauge if they would be upset with her.

izzy izzy's strongest opinion right now was just that, honestly, she wished they had done this somewhere other than around the fire. how was it that smoke seemed to have a mind of it's own, always able to find izzy and snake it's way into her ( pretty weak ) lungs? she wasn't sure what to do about the boys. she didn't love being put on the spot, or decision making, for that matter. "odessa, what do you think?" she turned to odessa, coughing a slightly allergic cough into her shoulder. she was at least half willing to follow odessa's lead.

nyla She cocked her head at Jude's response. To her surprise it was the answer that gave her some food for thought and made her reconsider her response. "The only thing we can know about them is that they have an axe. I think we should do more negotiations. We can dump their asses and never speak to them again if we find out they're completely useless or bad news."

margo "I'm not a fan of leaving people to die and some of them seem pretty cool. All we have to go off is a first impression. I say we give them a chance?"

odessa Odessa was deep in thought but she knew she couldn't ponder for long. She had to be decisive. "I agree with Margo. We should at least talk to them. It'd be crazy to pass up the opportunity. And we can be careful. And obviously, full caution. No sharing info on camp or whatever."

alexa “so you don’t trust them because boys think differently? are you forreal?” she sighs in frustration. she wouldn’t want people being presumptuous about her, so how was it fair to be like that in return? women had screwed her over way more than guys ever did and she still gave them a chance. “whatever, since we are all so GIRLY and dramatic and pmsing like a bunch of GIRLS then whatever…” she gets up on her feet. “im with margo, clarke and other reasonable people who are aware that these are a bunch of boys not prisoners so…excuse me…” she leaves deciding it’s better she doesn’t get involved with the rest of the conversation.

jude "i can't believe i fucked her," jude grimaced as lex walked away, loud enough for everyone to here.

joss Joss' expression soured when Alexa spoke, "Oh fuck off, Lex," she spat venomously at the other girl, frustrated by the fact that her words had been reduced to PMS when they had come from a much more genuine understanding of what boys could be like when they wanted to take advantage of trust. "Yeah, nah, you're excused, get lost," she waved the other girl off dismissively, knowing how petty and childish she sounded but unable to hold it back. If she didn't grunt at Lex like a farm animal, she'd be crying about how hurt she was by the other girls words instead and it was better off this way.

hattie you know you're between a rock and a hard place when lex is the most rational-sounding person in the group. hattie runs a hand over her sunburnt face and stares at the other girls from between her fingers. "this is ridiculous," she says. "the girls and i just spent an afternoon with them. they're fine. they're scared and hungry, but they're fine. get over yourselves and start putting your heads together to think about what two planes crashing on one island means for us." clarke "i trust my brother more than i trust myself and if he could survive two weeks with them, then they can't be that bad!" she spoke up, suddenly feeling as if she needed to defend her choice to want to be with her brother more than the eves. grace Grace nodded her head in agreement, "We played UNO, they're just kids," she assured the rest of the girls, feeling bad about how much angst was in the group when the Eves that had been in the cave had actually managed to have fun with the boys. She wished they could have been there to see it in action, maybe that would have cooled their jets a little.

jude "for all we know, they're lying about all of that. i wasn't on a plane with them. i was on a plane with you guys. for all we know, there was no second plane crash! we don't fucking know! there's something wrong, i get that, it means something for us, but for us, not them. not them," she said, tensing a little. maybe everybody would think she was crazy. maybe she was crazy. she felt crazy.

jenny Yeah, alright, this was sort of complicated huh. Jenny pressed their lips together in thought, eyes glancing to Shane when she spoke up, realising that her opinion made it even more complicated. " I don't see the harm in, you know, giving them a chance. " Jenny said after a second. " Like, for sure, what Odessa said. Not sharing any critical info until we're all confident about sharing it. But they've got info about this place that we don't– like, they said they had a radio. " Okay, it had definitely been past tense and involved one of their's falling off a cliff or something but still. " They lost it, but if we can find it that would be huge. And they're pretty worn thin, if we can spare them like, a little food, show them where the waterfall is, they'll be even more in our debt than they are already. " clarke "jude, i literally hugged my brother at the airport two weeks ago. they're not lying!"

hattie "how the fuck else would they have gotten here." hattie was never in the mood to entertain jude's funny gal bullshit, but least of all right now. "and why would it matter if they landed here any other way? we're both stranded."

zoya “I mean we could have weekly meetings at an agreed upon point until we all figure this shit out. Clarke and whoever else can go vibe with them and we keep our camp hidden for now.”

jude "'cause why the fuck would they say it was all the same as us if it wasn't? everybody knows that two planes just don't crash the same place! that does not happen. so - i don't know what - i don't know if we were put here, or, or - what, but they didn't get here naturally, and we don't know that we can trust them, so why would we go around giving them our shit? why would we go around telling them shit about us? does it not fucking bother anyone else the way things just appear and dissapear on this fucking island? i mean, where the fuck did jill's body go?" she urged, sweat beading on her forehead. yeah, okay. she looked like she was fucking crazy.

hattie hattie took a deep, concentrated breath. "yeah. that's kind of the whole point of letting them in. so we can figure out what the fuck is going on."

joss Joss could feel her anxiety bubbling and brewing in the put of her stomach, the more and more the others spoke, whether it was for the Adams or against them, it didn't matter, the cacophony of voices was enough alone to send the blonde's head into a whirlwind. The more the argument continued, the more she realised that there was a good chance of her losing it, a good chance of the boys rolling out their sleeping bags or whether the fuck they had right beside the sleeping spots the Eves had already made and there would be nothing Joss could do or say that would change it. She pressed her palm to her chest and felt her heartbeat pick up as she sat in silence, swallowing the lump in her throat that had held her words captive for minutes now. What if they found their camp and ambushed them in the night? Now that they knew the girls were out there, what was stopping them from hunting them down? Scouring the island until they found them? Even if the girls told them to fuck off, why would they? She took in a deep breath, feeling like she'd held her head underwater since the last time she'd spoken aloud, though the only thing that was drowning her was her racing thoughts and the nerves in her gut that had started to make her hands shake until she buried them in her lap to hide her white knuckles from the others. She was only half listening now, picking up key words while she chewed on the inside of her cheek and stared at the sand, trying not to throw up on it if she could help it.

shane for once, shane wasn't about all the fighting. she was just as curious about this place as jenny was, but she was still reeling from her panic attack earlier and she wasn't so sure that it wasn't going to happen again. she wanted to agree with jenny, she really did. but she couldn't. rather than speak up about it, she just ran her hands through her hair and put her forehead against her knees to hide herself in a small ball.

nyla Nyla's eyes widened and whatever nonsense Jude was spouting. It was some flat eather level conspiracy theory bullshit and it sounded more sincere than the usual bullshit Jude came out with. "If you think there's some massive conspiracy shouldn't you want to find out for sure if they're lying and if there's any holes in their story?" she challenged. "I like Zoya's plan of deciding on a neutral meeting spot."

divya “Guys, we can be cautious but we can also be compassionate. They’re not a bad lot. They took it really well when I beat them all at UNO. I agree with the neutral meeting spot.” jude "fucking you tell me, then, nyla, and don't say you wanna 'figure it out' and 'talk to them,' 'cause i'm sure you do, but i'm also sure you've fucking thought about it, right? so, okay, i'm a little slow on the uptake. i'm sure i'm not the smartest one here. but any of you - can any of you tell me what the fuck you think happened to land both of us here, the same day? instead of just saying we should talk to the boys? i mean, for fuck's sake, what do you guys think happened, then? 'cause i may be the fuckin' dunce, i may be the town idiot, but i guarantee i know a hell of a lot more about plane crashes, okay? but i don't have to, not to know this is suspicious as fuck," she spat, shaking a little, voice uneven as she thought, mostly, of her mother.

clarke she really didn't understand what jude was going on about. she can understand not trusting the boys at first, but not trusting her after they've spent two weeks together? it really said something about clarke's place in the group. "listen, i can tell you everything i know about the boys' group. i'll tell you whatever you need to know to believe that they're not evil or something. but i'm not leaving my brother to die out there after i just spent weeks thinking i was going to die without ever seeing him again." as clarke trying to yell back at the group (mostly jude) she could feel her throat burning as she tried to fight back tears. zoya She looks over at Jude “Our situation is just as fucking nuts. We all survived the crash with minimal injuries, minimal debris, not a single working phone, only one fucking luggage back which…just so happened to me the most useless bag that could have possibly washed up…” a sigh “point is, this shit was weird for the get go. Now it’s just double the fucked and we can’t just cut off entirely the new pieces of the puzzle.” Jude wasnt sounding crazy, but she seemed to have been missing a perspective . “And don’t you think we look just as suspicious to them as they do us? Come on bro…” a sigh. “I remain with the mutual spot idea..at this point I’m more concerned for them than I am about them…” fucking cutthroat bitches izzy it was the fighting, the pressure for thought, the smoke in her lungs. it made her anxious, reminded her, terribly, of home. she could feel her chest tighten, and she tried to move out of the direct line of smoke, coughing with irritated lungs into her elbow, a persistent, annoying cough. "maybe..." she began, clearing her throat, "i mean, anybody who wants to talk to them can. it's just, you know, maybe camp should stay just for us now, o-" she tried, trailing off into another cough before she could finish.

odessa Odessa could not with the lack of perspective some of the group had. She sighed, conceding to the idea that not all of them would be having this discussion with the boys. "Yeah, I mean, power in numbers but we can't force those that don't want to come. It's unfair. So if we're this divided, maybe it's best that those who want to go, go. And those who don't, stay."

jenny There's something they recognise in the way that Jude is freaking out. Something super fucking familiar. " That's why we gotta talk to them, dude. It is fucking suspicious, " They weren't going to go as far as to say conspiracy, not with literally all the Eves present. That sort of shit was reserved for people they knew weren't gonna call them crazy. " But like, those guys are an opportunity to find out more about what's going on. If we don't talk to them, we're never gonna know. " The way they spoke sort of went around on circles, but how could it not in this situation? They took a breath trying to reel in their thoughts, make them make sense to themselves at least. They found themselves looking to Shane, her presence almost always helping them feel calmer. But seeing her curled up, they shifted slightly closer to her, their legs bumping against her's. And putting their hand lightly on her back.

jude "i don't give a shit how we look to them. i know i didn't do shit. i know i'm not suspicious. and you were all fucking with me. but it - i mean, doesn't it have to be someone? and there's only one other fucking group, alright? so if it's anyone, it's them," jude protested unevenly. "you wanna go be with them? go ahead. but don't fucking tell them where we are, where we get shit we found," she continued. she did not even know what the amorphous someone that she was talking about was, what it was she was so suspicious of. she wanted this to be over so badly, she almost wondered why she was fighting so hard. she felt so tired, but, still - it was all she knew, to fight, to protest. she grimaced against the feeling of her rapid heartbeat.

erin It seemed most of the group was of the opinion that they shouldn't tell the other group where their shelter was, and selfishly that was enough for Erin to not pipe up again. As long as she, personally, didn't have to interact with them again, she was fine with it. Or she would have to be. Instead her attention fell to Izzy as she coughed again. That felt like too much coughing. Like more than we're stranded on an island and staying healthy is fucking hard amount of coughing. She reached for a bottle of boiled and cooled water, holding it out to her as she asked " You okay, Iz? "

zoya “I mean they know where the pig is…we can use the hot pink one as bait, the piggy seemed to like him…” maybe not the best moment to try being a light-hearted comment to the table, but boys could provide use beyond conversation. “Anyways, I honestly don’t give a shit. Talk to them, don’t talk to them, do what you want everyone…it’s what we all fuckin do anyway…” shane shane didn't need to look up to know that it was jenny touching her. they were the only one brave enough to do so. and while it did bring her some comfort, it wasn't enough to stop her brain from being overwhelmed with everything going on. she wanted to know what was going on here, she wanted to help jenny and be by their side; but she couldn't trust these guys, she didn't want to share their things or talk to them nicely. she didn't care if it was clarke's brother. she stayed in her ball but leaned into jenny's touch some.

izzy izzy took the water with a grateful grin and drank greedily, shooting erin a thumbs-up. the water on her throat brought relief for a couple of seconds, before that itchy, awful feeling began to come back again. she grimaced. she had 14 of her asthma pills left, and she'd begun taking them every other day to try and conserve them, but now, she was beginning to regret that. it made her nervous, the way her chest was beginning to constrict, the way that the cough wasn't really fading off. it was familiar, the warning signs of an incoming asthma attack, but seriously, could there be a worse time? for one, everyone was awfully busy right now, what with the voting, and she didn't wanna be dramatic, or interrupt. she didn't want anyone to worry. on top of that, she was trying not to use her inhaler unless it was absolutely necessary, and she was still trying to convince herself that the water was enough to kill the coughing. it was that awful feeling of trying not to draw attention to yourself in the middle of, like, a standardized test, you know? she tried her best to stifle the coughs, drinking from the waterbottle every few seconds. "thanks," she managed to erin finally, 'cause, you know - she still had her manners

hattie god. this was like the mccarthyism unit hattie had to sit through for international history class. she didn't understand why the girls were so attached to the idea of a united front against some random group of boys when they couldn't even agree on a chore schedule, most days. "right," she said with a note of finality, "does anyone have a reason not to trust these guys other than that they're guys? and no conspiracy bullshit."

jude "how about the tall dude who wouldn't fucking put down the axe?" jude offered incredulously. she got the feeling that anything she said would rate as 'conspiracy bullshit' to hattie, even if jude just quoted the boy's exact story back to her. like, okay, is the fact that their planes crashed the same place, the same day, not reason enough to think they're fucking suspicious? this isn't the fucking bermuda triangle.

zoya Hattie was on her level for sure. “No, not really. Except maybe they’re too easy to kill…says a lot about their overall usefulness. I wouldn’t want to waste any more supplies on their clumsy asses…” she points at Jude. “I mean like Jude said, one of them had a whole axe and they still lost one dude and got two injured as fuck so…dunno, I wouldn’t want us to shelter a bunch of idiots unless we have to. Which is why, again, I bring the solution of ‘no mans land’ and like the common ground and whatever…”

shane shane finally spoke up, not moving her head up for her voice to carry much, but she said the same thing she had brought up to erin earlier in the jungle. "if we join groups or whatever, that's going to be twice as many people to take care of, to feed and get water. and they don't really look like they're up for the job." she didn't really know why she was saying this, they weren't talking about that, but it was all she had besides the fact that she didn't trust them just because they were guys. she probably should have just kept her mouth shut, but whatever.

hattie "oona went into the woods with him and came out alive, so i think it's safe to say he's not an axe murderer," hattie reasoned. she turned to shane. "and they're injured, not brain-dead. the one with the tattoos said he can fish, right? that's more resources to go around. more hands for choring."

shane shane just shrugged her shoulders, keeping her head down. that was all the ammo she had so she just kept quiet after that.

zoya “Okay yeah I think we shouldn’t jump the gun and join camps until we can establish some sort of power hierarchy. We all agree on respecting this new schedule. We don’t know if these people will be down to play by our rules…” knowing how men worked, they would probably have their own ideas in mind. “I just feel like we should be two friendly neighbours, ya know? They have their house, we have ours and we all meet up at the community centre where we discuss the benefit of the community. We can visit each other, bring each other fruit baskets and scream at each other to keep our dogs in check…but ultimately….not under the same roof…”

margo "Yeah what Hattie said, Axeman seemed decent when he went off with Oona. It could be an act but I don't know for sure. Oona didn't seem uncomfortable and I got the vibe he was on his best behaviour. He's the only one with macho dickheadhead vibes. The rest seem cool or kind of pathetic, maybe a bit of both." izzy "maybe - " izzy began, having to stop to drink more water, chest aching wholly now. "maybe we should just vote now," she continued, a little weary from effort. "'cause, we - " again, she broke off into ragged, congested coughing, which was, honestly, pretty embarrassing. "sorry," she said, clearing her throat, which helped very little. "we don't seem to be, um, getting anywhere," she finished finally, sipping again on the water, which seemed to soothe her throat for less and less time each time she drank.

zoya “Izzy man, do you need to lay down?”

joss Joss took a deep breath and let it out quickly, bracing herself before she spoke, "Well, I'm voting no and I'm in the middle of folding clothes so I'm going back to that, I don't have anything else to add, you sort it out among yourselves, I'm sure that's the plan anyway," she was being harsh and brash for no conceivable reason but she couldn't help it. She'd said her piece, she'd been mocked for it, she'd shut up and listened for the rest of the discussion despite her desire to bail and now she had reached the end of her rope. She was done with it.

izzy "i'm okay," she said, quickly and hoarsely, face blotchy and red. "i - " she broke off with a short, barking cough, "i think we should talk. not here," she clarified, trying to keep her sentences short. she could feel face breaking out in a thin sheen of sweat, and all she could think was: holy shit, this is inconvenient. she coughed again.

jude "i'm with joss," jude said through gritted teeth. "not on the laundry - sorry, joss. just on voting no."

odessa “Okay, so that’s two no’s... Unless anyone else wants to speak up, I'm taking silence as being okay with talking to the boys.” Odessa said distractedly. Her attention was more so on Izzy than anything else, watching the girl with concerned eyes. “Are you sure? You don’t sound okay.” Nor did she look it if Odessa was being honest. Izzy’s face was red on top of the fact that she couldn’t seem to stop coughing. “Hey Iz, maybe you and I should step out for a sec,” she suggested.

izzy "'kay," izzy managed breathlessly, standing up on unsteady legs, clinging to the water bottle like a lifeline. she stumbled out of the circle, thinking that if she could just distance herself from the smoke, she'd be okay again. she took a gulp of cool night air, trying to ignore the wheezy, whistling sound her lungs made as she inhaled. she could only breathe so deep before it came out in a sputtering cough, but she still did her best to stay on her feet. "i'm seriously fine," she reiterated, coughing weakly and sipping her water again. it soothed the coughing a little, enough to get a little more air in. "my throat's jus' dry," she continued. that age old mantra, eating away at her, making her shrink under other's eyes, making her want to be swallowed whole: for fuck's sake, izzy. this isn't about you. not everything can be about you. she tried not to panic when the coughing began again as she continued to move away from the group into the night breeze.

erin She watched Izzy with concern, even after she drank some water she still seemed like she was choking. However, Odessa distracted her for a moment. " I'm a no too, " As if that wasn't obvious, but it felt a little more complex than Joss and Jude. " But just for me. I don't want to talk to them, I don't mind if anyone else does though. Just, yeah, don't tell them where camp is. Just yet. " Or ever, if Erin were to say how she truly felt. But, it seemed everyone was agreed on that anyway. Save for Clarke, and even that was a maybe. She was drawn back to Izzy however, when her breath whistled. Like something was caught. However, with Odessa already accompanying her outside, Erin simply watched with concerned eye. " Make sure she drinks some more water, " She said to Odessa as the two stepped away.

bev bev had been uncharacteristically ignoring everyone in order to pout that no one included her on the vote when she wanted, even if that wasnt totally accurate. "iz, babe what do you need?" she asked, attempting to soften her voice and face, mainly cause whatever izzy had going on wasnt her source of annoyance. "look, imma say what i want." she moved closer to the middle, taking advantage of the attention. "I get that some of those dude seem scary, i think ita mostly cause they smell but you know, we dont need to go all dr phil about like...issues with bros. not to like, reduce whatever those are, just keeping it vague but we also need their resources, even if its just physical labor and we need to figure out why this shit is so similar, like most people ive talked to think they're here as punishment, but this bitch is not and some of y'all dont seem that vicious, no offense. " she took an inhale, looking to the group to see how this was going over. "however, what the fuck do we have to gain by sending girls who are uncomfy with it to that squad of dudes? like, majority rules isnt gonna mean shit if what we choose leaves some people struggling, for real." bev shrugged, moving back to her corner. "i vote we need these boys, but that we dont all need to be with them, ya know babes?"

oona Oona stayed quiet. Everyone seemed to have intense opinions on the matter at hand, and she understood that. Her afternoon with the boys had been fairly easygoing, despite the severe wound thrown into the mix, and she was impressed by their resilience in the aftermath of all that bad luck. But sitting here now, she felt itchy—like their eyes on her had left dozens of little pinpricks all over her skin. It wasn’t a foreign feeling, but it was certainly a heightened one after two weeks with the people she had grown so accustomed to and comfortable with. So no, she wasn’t Team Merge Camps by any means. But she was glad when the idea of finding a neutral zone was proposed; she considered that too back in the jungle. She nodded as Bev spoke. “I vote yes too,” she added. “To talking to them in an in-between space. And I agree with Bev. If you don’t want to go, then you don’t have to.” It probably wouldn’t be conducive to any discussions they would have either if tightlipped, standoffish people were sent for the task. And it would hardly brew peace back in their own camp, if they grew more and more tense in response to both the theoretical arm-twisting and the unwanted interaction. Oona sighed. And she didn't want anyone to be unhappy. They already had so many reasons to be. “I really don’t want anyone to be in an uncomfortable position when it’s not at all necessary.”

elise "i think we at least need to even things out...in terms of protection." the second she said it, elise wondered if it made her sound, weapon hungry or violent or something and then....would they figure it out?

zoya She felt like this matter was over and done with, and when Oona, most likely her favourite person on the island, put it into words she felt no need to go on it further. It was literally the best option. One which accommodated everyone. “What Oona said. I second that.” elise "does that mean everyone agrees to keep our shelter secret, like as a group consensus?" she tried to hide the skepticism in her voice, but she knew all it could take is one 'let me grab you some of our water' or good time for the whole thing to shift.

jude "we fucking better," jude said decisively. "they don't need to know where we are, where our shit is. i don't care how buddy-buddy the rest of you get with them, okay? it's all of our camp, so it's fucked up to go telling them where we are, alright? and i'm the one who found the cave we're sitting in right now, right? so i don't fucking - i don't want them in it," she said urgently, anxiousness rising in her chest as she laid it all out decisively. she would not put it past clarke to bring her brother over for a visit, or past lex to bring a dick appointment down to the beach.

zoya She was getting so tired of Jude that, if she had more balls than this, she would probably have knocked her out by now and let her sleep off the cuntiness. But alas, she didn't want to add fuel to the fire. Not when they had bigger shit to take care of, like...how, if they don't secure a proper and continuous source of food beyond seafood and mushrooms, they would probably starve to death before these boys can do fuck all. "No boys allowed in camp, I'm cool with that." clarke even though no one said it or put any pressure on clarke, she still felt the need to speak up to assure her fellow eves that she would go with whatever they have planned. if there was anyone who needed to hear this rule, it was lex was long gone and probably lost in the jungle at this point. “okay, no one tells them where the camp is,” she repeated weakly. “maybe we can make the waterfall common ground? we all can use it for water. it’s not like anyone should be bathing in it or anything,” she tried to not thinking about what elise revealed to everyone during the card game the night before.

elise "yeah, noted there." she figured people didn't forget. "but I still think having a defense per team is a good idea." especially when they have an axe.

hattie "i still think you're all vastly overestimating what these guys are capable of," said hattie, rubbing her temples. "but fine. if it'll take some of us," she sent a pointed look in jude's direction, "off the edge, let's meet at the waterfall. for now." jude cunt, she thinks, but instead she says: "an axe makes a lot of people a lot more capable than they usually are, and real quick." guys can do plenty of damage sans-weapon, so with a fucking axe? who knows. "elise is right. if we had an axe, or something like that - something bigger than, like, a pocket knife - that'd fuckin' help."

elise "id rather overestimate and be cautious than lose more people." she shot hattie a critical look, feeling like jude was being vulnerable only fpr it to be shot, didnt they say they wanted more than pussy jokes? "when i asked the dude with the axe to drop it, he wouldn't. why would that be if he weren't at least somewhat of a threat?" she exhaled, trying to control her own anxiety. "we take the knife and pepper spray with us anyway, for any predator." hattie "if one of those boys walked up to us and asked us to drop our weapons," she said slowly, seriously, "would you?"

zoya "What if that handed over the axe? What excuse would you have then?" and she knew it would just circle back around to 'they're boys' like say boys were somehow capable of taking Jude and Shane down. Especially in a combo. "Man this is all taking long, doubt they even want to merge camps or be around us. They seem far more interested in each other if you ask me..." and what happens when they all just randomly walk into their camp. If the boys go exploring, there's no way of knowing where they would end up. It's not like they were hiding in some deep-hidden bunker. They were literally on the beach. "What if they find our camp by accident? You guys ever think about that?"

jude would you? hattie asked, and jude thought of every stitch, every concussion, every fucking slap, every hand around her throat, of getting dragged from the windowsill by her hair, jaw hitting the endtable. no, of course she wouldn't. if she wanted to stand a chance, she wouldn't. and she can talk a big game all she wants when she's just fucking around, but she knows - she knows that even without the axe, that tall one could fucking kill her, no problem. without a weapon, would she stand a chance? she grimaced. "let's hope they don't," she said to zoya, biting her brutalized lip anxiously.

elise for a moment, elise felt her blood might freeze right there and she studied hattie up and down while she and zoya spoke. "I would if I was them and i saw how scared some of us were and I needed them to help my friends. and if they had-" voice increases as her fear mixed with anger did. "then id be vouching for that at least, but he didnt, because he wanted the power. this is not a gendered thing for me, this is about a threat, so don't give me that 'not all men' bs." she crossed her arms around her chest. "youb can talk big shit about hunting and guts but i bet you'd feel a lot fucking difference if that ended up being someone here's fate, on whatever side of the island.

oona It took Oona a moment to clock into the fact that they were talking about the same guy who told her a silly fact about Wales. And when she did, her eyes widened. "He's not a threat," she defended as soon as she could get a word in edgewise, then immediately started to regret it. She didn't want anyone there to turn against her for saying it. Hesitantly, she continued: "He let me use it without a problem, so he did put it down. Technically." zoya She looks over at Elise. Of course, the power issue was apparent. "That's exactly why I think we should all stay on top of our own groups. We have a good thing going, we have a schedule flashed out, we got...I don't know, something that resembles a camp..." a sigh. "That doesn't mean we can't interact with them, talk to them, exchange goods, or whatever. Maybe we can even borrow this stupid axe if we let Oona chill with them for a bit, and hunt down that pig since...they clearly suck at hunting themselves..." she was pretty certain boys were the weaker group. If judged by a number of injuries, lack of supplies and what she got to see of them, them boys would be LUCKY to have them around. Zoya basically called them pathetic dogs to their face and the most resistance she got was a few grunts. "All I'm saying is, we need to focus on what we want. -- We don't want them in our camp, we established that. We don't want NOT to talk to them, so we figured waterfall as the middle ground. Those who want to talk to them will, those who don't...don't have to either. So what are we arguing about? Feels like we're just running in circles and it's getting boring..."

jude "you know?" she said finally, calmly, trying not to choke on the words. "i guess it doesn't really matter." of course it didn't. because, look - look at them. look at where they were. they were going to die, right? like lex. like mom. they had been put here, and they were going to die here, and then their bodies would probably be taken away. they'd probably never get answers. whether the boys killed them, or they killed each other, or nature killed them, they were gonna die. "it's fine," she finished, voice eerily still. she listened to the thrum of her heartbeat in her ears, going pale beneath her sunburn. whatever, right? it's not like she wasn't asking for it.

elise "i am glad to hear that." she spoke to oona, having kept herself from sobbing and yelling. "and i get where youre coming from, sorry zoya. but you cant assume we're all operating in your pov. if everyone feels ok about the decision to keep the camp secret, keep to rules about neutral ground then, sure let's move on." it was more of a defeat than anything but what could she give that wouldnt give it all away

zoya Rolls her eyes at Elise and throws her hands in the air in defeat. "Bitch, I literally included everyone's p.o. fucking v. in the equation. If we had it your and Judes way, then the vast majority of the group would be fully excluded from the narrative." she didn't mean to insult, but she didn't like words being put in her mouth. Especially when most views have been repeated multiple times and everyone's stance was pretty apparent. "It's called compromise. That's what we're trying to do, right? We done that. What else is there to fucking do?"

bev bev gave zoya a sympathetic look, not because she was in a heated moment but because bev too was bored.

jude "i just said it was fine," jude reminded zoya, shrugging. nobody listens to her unless they feel like having someone to be pissed off at.

zoya "I mean if we're to have it the way you truly feel as opposed to your compromise, you feel me?"

elise "fine." she knew it was passive aggressive but wasn't that better. "I just....want to keep people safe. we didn't all spend time with them, so we don't all have those moments they proved themselves. " she tried to drop the ego. jude said fine, and im saying fine so, go ahead." why did zoya assume elise and jude were coming from the same, again pov thing. "maybe we can write down a list of questions about their crash, those of us who aren't going to meet them."

bev "cool....baller, anyone else want to speak next?"

grace Grace had been listening to the discourse carefully, taking in points from both sides of the argument. She happened to think that the boys were a breath of fresh air but she could understand the hesitance, especially from girls like Erin, when she really thought about it. In truth, it made her feel sort of guilty for pushing the point, if it could be said that Grace had ever really pushed it at all. “I was just thinking like, so what if we just get them to cut down trees and shit for us and then we just ask for it,” that seemed a lot easier than the alternative, Grace wasn’t convinced she could swing an axe without hurting something, “We can give them old mangoes or something,” bev "smart, very hot of you and good compromise." she offered a wink, feeling like grace was preventing an entertaining beef but since they'd been having the same fight for awhile, bev was happy to move on to the next one.

elise while grace's strategy seemed like a good choice, elise couldnt shake that feeling the dude with the axe was bad news, even if he apparently was a separate person back on his own turf. they don't fucking get it, I couldnt protect them before but i can now and they treat me like cassandra of troy...fuck this. "im going for a walk, look for the others. write down whatever is decided I guess." and with that elise stood, popped her ear plugs in and stepped outside.

eyeforpharma Patient Summit Europe roundup

eyeforpharma’s Patient Summit Europe brought together leading patient innovators from industry and patient associations for two days of sharing, learning and a healthy dose of challenging.

With about 250 registrants, it was a small but significant group of committed and enthusiastic patient leaders who covered every patient-centric topic possible, from trials to technology, end-points to experience, and more. As one speaker put it, when the whole industry becomes truly patient-centric, we won’t need events like this. So how far along the journey are we, and what will it take to get there?

From a cultural change perspective, partnership was the big theme. Servier’s chief patient officer Lode Dewulf proposed that just as the human ability to scale and adapt the way we collaborate has been the determining factor in our dominance as a species, collaboration will be critical for the industry to become truly patient-centric. But developing a more collaborative mindset would mean learning to relinquish control, he said. As Catalina Cernica from LEO Innovation Lab summarised in her presentation, “If we consider patient centricity as a source for competitive advantage, we won’t progress. We have to see patient centricity as a platform for collaborative advancement.”

How are those pioneering patient centricity driving change across their organisations, and are they always getting the support they need?

CSL Behring’s Metani Rooms said that her company is asking patients what can be done better and taking the answers to employees all over the world. “The more challenging and uncomfortable the conversations we are having, the more we are learning,” she said. Her team has developed a comprehensive knowledge-sharing platform to train employees, and support comes from the very top.

“Technology is said to make healthcare more patient centric – but is that really the case?” Oliver Gassner, Bayer

Technology as an enabler

Leveraging tech is still seen as a priority, but speakers were discerning about its use. Oliver Gassner from Bayer asked, “Technology is said to make healthcare more patient centric – but is that really the case?” He argued that patients don’t want the authority of the doctor replaced and that technology should aid decision making and support at home follow-up. He emphasised the role of social and behavourial factors as determinants of outcomes, and that these should be the drivers.

Along similar lines, the team from IQVIA advocated for digital solutions to be integrated with existing care models. With more than three hundred thousand health apps and the same number of consumer wearable devices available, it can be difficult for patients to know where to go, although the evidence showed a much higher level of engagement when a physician makes a recommendation. They proposed that the rigour that comes with traditional product development be applied to new apps and technologies.

One area where technology is having a positive impact and showing great potential is in clinical trials. Alistair MacDonald from Syneos Health shared his insights on how technology can create a more rewarding experience for patients on clinical trials. More companies, he said, are investing in E-clinical platforms which go beyond the traditional site setting and take the study to the patient. This minimises the study burden for patients and reduces drop out. According to MacDonald, virtual assistants like Alexa and chatbots are receiving positive feedback from patients when deployed in clinical trials appropriately. But he warned the audience not to expect technology to reduce the costs of virtual trials.

Involving patients in trial design

Jenny Ainsworth from Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, who runs parent and young people’s advisory groups that have inputted into protocol design, advised the industry on engaging more proactively with patients. “You need to go out to them. Parents wouldn’t think twice about knocking on the hospital door.”

But do payers care about end-points that are meaningful to patients? Ian Banks, chair of ECCO said, “Patients don’t want to live forever, the want normality,” he said. “But most research is based on longevity.” So how much do the payers take the patient’s perspective into account?

On day 2, NICE was represented by Mark Rasburn, who emphasised the organisation’s commitment towards greater patient involvement. NICE includes two Lay Members on each committee and has fifty committees running at any one time. David Chandler, a NICE Lay Member, said that his experience had been very positive, “NICE is very fair and bends over backwards for as much information to be included,” he said.

Designing trials that reduce burden and improve outcomes that patients care about is one thing, but one of the biggest challenges is enrolment. Yet, according to the International Kidney Cancer Coalition’s (IKCC) Rachael Giles, patients want more information about them and want to get involved. Commenting on its first patient survey involving 2000 people across 43 countries, she said that “70% of patients said they were not asked to participate in a clinical trial. Of those, 89% said it was fairly likely that they would have participated if asked.”

Data ownership and access

As expected, data was a hot topic. Helen Matthews from The Cure Parkinson’s Trust said, “patients want to know that their data is being used to change things, they want to have access to their data and make their own decisions about which research it should support.”

Janssen’s Caroline Feys supported the view that patients want their data back with the context around it, including the overall study results. They are interested in how they are doing in relation to everyone else, she said. In her experience, patients understand that they cannot get all the data if the integrity of the study is to be maintained. She proposed that patients should be able to opt-out of receiving data if that’s the right choice for them.

All patients are not the same

According to the patient-centricity model, it all begins with patient insights, but variability within patient populations needs to be considered. “For those with chronic diseases, cure means different things to different people dependent on where they are in their own journey,” said Helen Matthews. “If newly diagnosed, it is never having received that diagnosis, if diagnosed for a few years, it is halting the disease at that point or reversing the disease progression, but if you have been living with the condition for a long time, the focus changes to ensuring no one else needs to endure the disease.”

Sarah Krug from CANCER 101 wanted to ensure that the broader patient population is addressed too. “The person walking down the street may not have been in touch with a patient advocacy group. How do we bring him or her into the conversation?” she asked. The need to tailor patient education from a cultural perspective, both across and within countries was emphasised and educating physicians to be aware of resources as much as treatments that can help.

Patients were the focus, but caregivers were not forgotten. Air Liquide’s Catherine Billoett shared her company’s research in collaboration with the European Parkinson’s Disease Association (EPDA), on the challenges facing caregivers of people living with Parkinson’s disease. The study design was informed by patients and their families and the outcome will be to create efficient home care solutions that support patients by helping their caregivers – a great example of co-design – bringing the people that matter into the development of solutions at the beginning.

When patients are unwilling to wait

What happens when patients think the industry isn’t moving fast enough? In the case of the #wearenotwaiting diabetes community, represented by Tim Street, its unwillingness to wait for the industry led to the creation of Nightscout, a remote glucose monitoring tool, allowing a father to monitor his son’s data during school hours. This was followed by the Open Artificial Pancreas System project, which is supported by a growing diabetes community. How far is this from becoming a reality in pharma? Paul Simms from eyeforpharma predicted that “regulation won’t stop patient-centred medicine”. In a world where the old rules are being broken, Paul may have a point.

A Summit on patient-centricity wouldn’t be complete without measurement and we were not disappointed. Theresa Finlay from PARADIGM, an EU-wide Innovative Medicines Initiative project on sustainable patient involvement across the cycle of medicines development, recognised the challenge to convince others on the return on engagement, advising that “It’s important to consider value, not just what is easy to measure, be practical and usable and balance the qualitative with the quantitative.” PARADIGM will be launching its interactive online framework tool in June 2020.

The conference provided some inspiring lessons – work together, listen more, try new things, learn and share. If you haven’t started the journey or – as one audience member called it – the adventure, then Catalina Cernica’s message is a good one to take back to HQ: “Start small, have an ambition and a big vision. It’s a long-term commitment for the whole industry.”
