Session 1 Summary: Introduction to Patient Engagement
On May 16th at 9AM CET / 3PM SGT, we delved into crucial aspects of Patient Engagement, including “Areas of patient value” and “Evidence-based advocacy”.
​
This first webinar was crafted as a “beginners guide” for patients and caregivers who are approaching their Patient Engagement journey, defining the role of patient organizations and advocates in the healthcare ecosystem. At the same time, keeping more advanced patient advocates in mind, the webinar identified and suggested ways to overcome cultural and systemic barriers to engagement.
​
The sessions are designed to be conversational, with participants engaging with the speakers and with each other to identify problems and brainstorm solutions.
