  1. AGM, WG1 A STRONG PATIENTS’ VOICE TO DRIVE BETTER HEALTH IN EUROPE

  2. Title of the Slide How can we build and grow EPF? • Working with EU presidencies as a standard approach – ex. conferences on patients’ issues • Skepticism/criticism about industry funding to be stopped including from within EPF – accept that this funding is important for EPF • Set a European Patient Organisations’ Day • Strengthen EPF relationship with EU institutions to better influence MS • Also strengthen EPF direct relationship with MS governments – ex. of Directive blocked by the Council

  3. Title of the Slide • Funding – explore donations (including in-kind) from individual patients – set up a Trust for this purpose • Set up a ‘competition’ scenarios for raising awareness and networking, ex. Football matches, MEP award, award for best funder

  4. Title of the Slide How can membership reinforce EPF? • EPF to organise actions at national level in cooperation with members • Capacity building programmes – mechanisms for exchange of experience, ex. on project development and applications, media – especially for national POs • Focus on fundraising – EPF support team for members to access funds • No core business of EPF • Place higher focus on new MS POs to reduce the gap, ex. Workshop on health policy system in new MS

  5. Title of the Slide • Organise AGM in different countries for better national outreach – more local POs, media visibility, attracting local government representatives • Structure differently the governing bodies and/or Secretariat to address EPF growth, ex. Allocate specific responsibilities for regions/countries • Monitoring and evaluation of cascade impact of projects’ outcomes and policy work – members to show how they made use of this knowledge, ex. Dissemination – is information getting where it should be? • Consultations with members – prioritise, simplify, better coordinate with other organisations doing same consultations

  6. Title of the Slide • Database of expertise within members • UN Convention on people with disabilities
