EU Elections campaign 2024

High-level policy event

On 16 October 2024, the European Patients’ Forum (EPF) will host the high-level policy event “Towards a patient-centred EU mandate: Health policy with and for patients” in Brussels, bringing together elected MEPs and representatives of our membership in a conversation about how to consolidate patient involvement in policy in the 2024-2029 EU mandate. 

It will aim to build connections, set the tone, and start the work in the new European Parliament to involve patients and patient organisations at all levels of policy making.

EPF's views on the next mandate

Between 6 and 9 June 2024, millions of people in the European Union voted for Members to represent them in the European Parliament. EPF considers this to be a key moment: MEPs take decisions that affect the daily lives of everyone, a considerable amount covering important healthcare issues that have a direct impact on patient organisations and patients' lives.
