Our Values

Icon to illustrate 'Making a difference' - a flag

People first

We start with the experiences, priorities and perspectives of the people affected by health decisions. Their voices shouldn’t be an afterthought; they should help shape the solution.

Commitment icon - Two hands shaking

Collaboration

The most difficult health challenges cannot be solved by one organisation or one sector. We connect patients, communities, civil society, governments, funders and innovators to create meaningful change.

Integrity icon - a shield

Integrity & Action

We bring independence, honesty and evidence to complex challenges and we don’t stop at insight. We help turn ideas, evidence and lived experience into strategies, partnerships and change.

About Us

We help health organisations put people at the heart of change.

Clarion I. brings deep experience in patient advocacy, community organising, global health policy, campaigning, movement building, strategy and communications. We help organisations understand what matters to patients and communities, building meaningful partnerships.

From strengthening patient voices and influencing policy to building coalitions and tackling complex health challenges, we bring a people-centred approach to global health, policy and innovation.

TESTIMONIALS

Dee Lee

Director, Inno Community Development Organisation

Clarion I’s convening power has been key to establishing the first ever global liver cancer movement. As the movement grows and becomes a synergist for experience exchange, capacity building and co-creation of solutions, we are very excited to work with Raquel and other advocates to impact millions of lives!

Nicola Bedlington

Former Secretary General and current Special Advisor, European Patients’ Forum

It’s been a pleasure to work with Raquel and other great global leaders in patient advocacy to identify priority topics for the community and co-create a movement that brings people together to exchange experiences, find inspiration, and leave with practical, meaningful, and actionable ideas to utilize at the local level.

Sylvie Briand

Director, Infectious Hazards Management Department, World Health Organization

I’ve known Raquel for over a decade and can vouch for her patient engagement, awareness and communications work. She was/still is a key figure in the viral hepatitis field and we were happy to engage her in our COVID infodemic work.

Prof. Dr. Konrad Reinhart

Founding President, Global Sepsis Alliance

Raquel’s guidance and support was integral to our efforts in securing the first ever WHO resolution on Sepsis. She also supported our organisation with governance matters and strategy-setting. Raquel is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about what she does and is a pleasure to work with. We have benefited enormously from her leadership and I would not hesitate to recommend Clarion I.

Dr John Ward

Director, Coalition for Global Hepatitis Elimination (Taskforce for Global Health)

Clarion I provided us with wise advice to effectively communicate with communities globally. With Clarion I, the Coalition successfully launched national hepatitis elimination profiles for the Americas and now in all regions of the world. Testament to their value is the commitment from Raquel to go above and beyond to help us meet the information needs of patients and their families.
