7th PATIENT CENTRICITY & COLLABORATION WORLD CONGRESS 2025 EUROPE
Amplifying Patients Voice in Research, Drug Development and Healthcare
Holiday Inn London - Bloomsbury, an IHG Hotel, London, United Kingdom
Tuesday 25th - Wednesday 27th February 2025
Facilitate Live is very pleased to welcome you to our upcoming Patient Centricity and Collaboration World Congress 2025 Europe.
The two-day Congress aims to build meaningful collaborations within the industry, advocacy groups, clinicians, researchers, and most importantly, patients and their caregivers. Gain practical strategies and best practices on challenges, innovations, technologies, and concepts in achieving this goal.
The congress focuses on “Amplifying Patients Voice in Research, Drug Development and Healthcare“.
Patient-centricity is a vital aspect in the research and development of biopharmaceutical products, disease management, designing a treatment, clinical trial, or other health solutions. In order to create a patient-centric solution, one must truly embrace a collaborative endeavor with the patient and their caregivers. Establishing a patient-centric solution involves getting feedback from real patients and their loved ones, and making decisions based on their medical conditions, experiences, needs, perspectives, and priorities.
In the current climate where the patients are increasingly becoming more empowered, Lifesciences and Pharmaceutical companies should confront the status quo and welcome the opportunities to embrace a wide range of patient-centered perspectives presented by an emerging ecosystem. While the technology-driven world poses challenges, it also holds opportunities to build a positive patient experience by coordinating the health ecosystem to center on the patient. Reevaluating how it develops and delivers drugs to improve experiences and outcomes and also to continuously adapt and transform to meet the evolving needs of patients.
The industry has come a long way with utilizing a patient-centered approach. The concept has gone from a buzzword to a potential trend, to a perceivable goal.
Whilst the industry has advanced in recent years, the evolving healthcare model and ecosystem brought forward by advances in technology and more involved, empowered patients, means true patient centricity is a continuing quest and a compelling commitment.
We look forward to meeting you at the Congress!
Sincerely yours,
Jocelyn Raguindin
Conference Director
