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 in the different ERN networks.
Dedicated rare kidney disease patient advocates work closely with clinicians, researchers and other healthcare professionals in the ERKNet, consisting of more than 7 European healthcare providers and can ensure that the patient voice is heard within the network.
If you have any questions or comments, or if you would also like to become active in our network as a patient, please contact our ePAGs representatives Susana Carvajal Arjona & Uwe Korst - patients@erknet.org
Visit our ERKNet patient website to find out more Information about ERKNet ePAGs and EURORDIS.
