European Patients' Forum

Our vision is high quality, patient-centred, equitable healthcare for all patients throughout the European Union.

The European Patients' Forum is an umbrella organisation that works with patients' groups in public health and health advocacy across Europe.  Our members represent specific chronic disease groups at EU level or are national coalitions of patients.

Our mission is to be the collective patients' voice at EU level, manifesting the solidarity, power and unity of the EU patients' movement, and to provide a strong and united patients' voice to put patients at the centre of EU health policy and programmes.

EPF helps to empower patients' organisations through educational seminars, policy initiatives and projects. We coordinate best practice exchanges between patient organisations at European and national levels. Our programmes also help to strengthen their organisational and advocacy capacity.
