Forging synergies between EASL and patient organisations to fight liver disease together
Goals of our collaboration
At EASL, we are boosting partnerships with umbrella patient organisations engaged in liver diseases. Our joint goals include increasingly to:
- take into account the patient experience
- consult on patient views on quality of life
- better understand what patients need from healthcare professionals
- promote the prevention of liver conditions
Building new synergies
EASL is building new opportunities to engage with umbrella patient organisations, aiming to:
- share best practices
- inspire joint initiatives and activities
- coordinate and convey relevant messages
Calling for umbrella patient associations to partner with EASL
We are keen to join forces with umbrella organisations that are Europe-based and representing people affected by issues related to the liver. We want to share expertise with patient organisations that are patient-focused, patient-driven, established, and transparent.
Please contact EASL’s Advocacy, Policy and Public Health Coordinator, Yoanna Nedelcheva, to find out how we can partner with you. |
