Patient Group Pavilion Programme – call for best practice sharing

A call for examples of best practice sharing at the Patient Group Pavilion will complement the main call for sessions, with the aim to strengthen the patients' voices at the Congress. 

Are you a representative of a patient association, a community manager or a healthcare professional? Don't miss the opportunity to be involved in a unique experience that fosters shared learning and collaborative exchanges amongst patients and communities.

Have a look at the proposed themes of the 2018 Patient Group Pavilion programme, and submit your examples of best practice sharing as of 28 August.

We look forward to receiving your contributions in due course as they will help us craft a dynamic and hands-on programme in Kuala Lumpur, maintaining the Congress' international reputation for excellence.
