Who can attend? 
EPF members only! Due to the scope of this meeting, please note that participation is specifically reserved to the organisations’ high-level representatives (one representative per organisation).

On the programme: Road towards our Strategic Plan 2021-2026

The first day of our programme will be an occasion to look at our collective accomplishments of the past year and to further develop together our Strategic Plan (2021-2026). We will also look at our 2020 Work Plan, and with a longer-term perspective, explore how we can ensure the visibility and the sustainability of our movement in the years to come.

Leadership Meeting: Focus on Digital health!

On the second day of our meeting, we will focus on the topic of digital health.

Ask any two people what digital health really mean, and you are likely to get three different answers, and at the same time the patient community is often asked to contribute to the conversation. During the Leadership Meeting we will investigate the what, the how and the why of digital health and we will exchange views and work together to design the patients’ community messages to ensure that patient needs are at the centre of the debate.
