European Patient Advocacy Group (ePAGs)
EURORDIS, a non-governmental patient-driven alliance of patient organisations, has developed a European Patient Advocacy Group (ePAG) for each ERN disease grouping.
ePAGs will bring together elected patient advocates and affiliated organisations who will ensure that the patient voice is heard throughout the ERN development process.
It is important that patient advocates and clinicians evolve how they work together in the new system of ERNs.
