What is on the programme?
Access Campaign and mid-term review of EPF Strategic Plan
Day 1 will be an occasion to look at our collective accomplishments of the past year and to present our Access Campaign, one of the key milestones of the year.
2017 is important for EPF as it marks the first half of the implementation of our Strategic Plan 2014-2020.
Participants will break into four thematic groups and assess the achievements of EPF made so far on:
1 – Patient Empowerment
2 – Access
3 – Sustainable Patient organisations
4 – Governance
We invite you to prepare for and contribute actively to this crucial session:
- Are all of our listed priorities still relevant?
- Can you identify success factors in EPF’s activities over the last years that we need to repeat?
- Where do we need to make some adjustments/improvements?
EPF’s Strategic Plan will then be adapted to take into account the recommendations formulated by members.
Day 2, we will welcome some high-level speakers from our network of partners to review together the emerging challenges for the patient community in Europe.

Governance
The current two-year term of office for four of the board members comes to an end and elections for the board will take place at the AGM. We will therefore elect four board members.
Full EPF members' organisations wishing to nominate a member to the board, should complete and return the nomination form available here by 10 March. General responsibilities of Board members can be found here.
Please note that applicant organisations to be endorsed at the Annual General Meeting that meet the criteria for full membership are also eligible to put forward a nomination.
