Goals / Remit
The European Patients’ Forum is a not-for-profit, independent umbrella organisation of patients’ organisations active in the field of European public health and health advocacy. EPF’s vision is patient-centred, high quality, equitable healthcare for all patients throughout the EU. Our mission is to be the collective patients’ voice at EU level, manifesting the solidarity, power and unity of the EU patients’ movement, and provide a strong and united patients’ voice to put patients at the centre of EU health policy and programmes. EPF facilitates exchange of good practice and challenging of bad practices on patients’ rights, equitable access to treatment and care, and health-related quality of life between patient organisations at European level and at Member state level. EPF's goals as stated in the Strategic Plan are as follows:
1/ Equal access for patients: to promote equal access to best quality information and healthcare for EU patients, their informal carers and families
2/ Patient involvement: To ensure meaningful patient involvement in EU health-related policy-making, programmes and projects.
3/ Patients’ Perspective: To ensure a patients’ perspective, including issues around human rights and quality of life, is heard in developments at the EU level on health economics and health efficacy (health, wealth and equity).
4/Sustainable patient organisations: To encourage inclusive, effective and sustainable representative patient organisations.
5/Patient Solidarity: To nurture and promote solidarity and unity across the EU patients' movement. No patient organisation is too small to contribute to our work.
Our vision and core values stated in our strategic plan inform EPF’s policy and programme work, external communications and collaboration and partnerships with health stakeholders. They are embedded in all activities we undertake and constitute EPF’s identity card. We outline our yearly objectives through an annual work plan.Main EU files targeted
