It is only a matter of weeks until the 4th Global Patients Congress in Istanbul, Turkey brings together patient advocates with other healthcare stakeholders to explore the value of patient engagement. We have developed an exciting range of workshop sessions and activities that will contribute to the work of all stakeholders, examining topics such as sustainability, working with the media, patient-centred healthcare, access to healthcare in low income countries and the value of meaningful patient engagement in clinical trials.
We have confirmed high-profile plenary speakers representing health professionals, patients, the World Health Organization and the Council of Europe to tackle the theme of Strengthening Healthcare Systems Globally: The Value of Patient Engagement. They will share their experience of how the meaningful inclusion of patients in decision-making has enhanced health outcomes as well as strategies to overcome the challenges holding back greater involvement.
