The 3rd annual Patients as Partners EU was the only conference in Europe that demonstrated how to involve patients throughout the entire medicines development life cycle to drive greater efficiencies in clinical research.

2019 Featured Speakers

Patients as Partners EU was co-produced with industry, patient advocacy and government to establish a well-rounded program that addresses the needs of all stakeholders seeking to implement and advance patient involvement across the entire clinical development continuum.

Each session put ideas into action and demonstrated the what, where, when and how behind the topic. The sessions demonstrated how these insights were used to co-create solutions with patients and measure the impact of those initiatives.

We take Patients Included very seriously and were excited to bring “Ask the Patient” to Patients as Partners EU, a program representing a group of individuals who’ve experienced a clinical trial.

These patients, our Medical Heroes, were available to answer questions about their clinical trial experience. It is a great opportunity to learn about the realities of a clinical trial directly from the patient’s point of view. They had a badge identifying their participation and were available throughout the conference. We also had an area in the exhibit hall to meet them during breaks.

The conference room was set up in rounds for easier interaction and each table was provided with a “Tool-Box” and an assortment of specially designed materials to help capture ideas.
Each session concluded with a list of key take-aways presented from the session representative.
Result: Each attendee walked away with a toolbox full of ideas that will support their patient involvement initiatives.
