EUPATI, the European Patients’ Academy on Therapeutic Innovation, has been a beacon of hope for patient advocates since its inception. The EUPATI Expert Training Course, specifically designed for patient advocates, offers expert-level training in medicines research and development. This 13-month program, blending online and face-to-face modules, is crucial for educating patients and the lay public on the intricacies of medicines development.
The importance of partnerships like the one between 1MED, FindMeCure, and EUPATI cannot be overstated. By funding a full scholarship for one patient to attend the EUPATI Expert Training Course, 1MED is directly contributing to a more informed patient community. This initiative ensures that patients are not just participants but informed stakeholders in the clinical trial process, leading to more effective and patient-centric healthcare solutions.
“Empowering patients through education is not just about imparting knowledge; it’s about instilling confidence, fostering understanding, and nurturing collaboration in their own healthcare journey. Our partnership with FindMeCure’s together with the EUPATI initiative aim to empower patients by providing them with the necessary knowledge and skills to become active partners in the medical device/drug development process. Including patients in clinical trials isn’t just about their participation; it’s about recognising them as partners in research, amplifying their voices, and fostering a healthcare system where everyone has a stake and a say in shaping the future of medicine.” – Giorgia Bigioni, Head of Start-up Unit at 1med
