Attend

We are delighted to invite you to the 8th Patient Centricity and Collaboration World Congress 2026 Europe, hosted by Facilitate Live. This two-day Congress aims to foster meaningful collaborations among industry professionals, advocacy groups, clinicians, researchers, and, most importantly, patients and their caregivers. You will have the opportunity to acquire practical strategies and best practices for addressing challenges, embracing innovations, utilising new technologies, and implementing concepts that contribute to achieving patient-centric goals.

The congress theme, “A strategic approach prioritising the patient’s needs, preferences, and values from drug development to treatment and beyond,” underscores the critical importance of patient centricity and engagement in biopharmaceutical research and development, disease management, and the design of treatments, clinical trials, and other health solutions. True patient-centric solutions necessitate a collaborative endeavor with patients and their caregivers, involving their feedback and insights into medical conditions, experiences, needs, perspectives, and priorities.

Patient centricity necessitates a departure from traditional approaches, embracing diverse, patient centered perspectives. This involves several key aspects, beginning with patient-centric clinical trials and drug development, integrating patient insights into the design, evaluation, and manufacturing of therapeutic products. It also entails actively engaging patients in discussions and decisions concerning healthcare products and services. Patient centricity further emphasizes personalized care, tailoring treatments, communications, and support to individual patient needs. This is complemented by improved communication, fostering clear, transparent, and accessible interactions between healthcare professionals and patients. Ultimately, patient centricity extends to prioritizing patient well-being, acknowledging emotional, social, and financial considerations alongside medical conditions.

While technology-driven advancements present challenges, they also create opportunities to enhance the patient experience by coordinating the health ecosystem around the patient. This requires reevaluating drug development and delivery to improve experiences and outcomes, and continuously adapting to meet the evolving needs of patients.

The industry has made significant progress in adopting a patient centered approach, transforming the concept from a mere buzzword to a tangible goal. However, with the evolving healthcare model and ecosystem, driven by technological advancements and more engaged patients, achieving true patient centricity remains an ongoing quest and a steadfast commitment.

We look forward to meeting you at the Congress!
