Patient Engagement Trainings
Following the success in patient training, EUPATI is now providing education on patient engagement for all stakeholders, to ensure the acceleration of effective patient engagement in Europe and across the world.
To guarantee that professionals are meeting the expectations for a fruitful collaboration with patients, it is necessary to provide standardised training for professionals working in patient relations and engagement as well as those performing patient engagement. The existing lack of training opportunities leads to disproportionate amounts of on-the-job training, mix of different approaches and failing institutional and experiential knowledge transfer. Additionally, there is a lack of continuous professional development (CPD) for persons working in this field in order to advance their careers and improve their work practices and processes.
In addressing this EUPATI will ensure that in the future both patients and professionals have fruitful engagement that meets the expectations of all parties.
