Patient organisations area
The Patient Organisation Area at the EADV Congress is a collaborative space designed to bring together healthcare professionals and international patient organisations.
The Patient Organisation Area serves as a meeting point to foster connections, encourage the exchange of experiences, and support the development of meaningful partnerships, all with the shared goal of advancing patient care and promoting patient rights.
EADV invites all Congress participants to connect, either onsite or virtually through the Congress platform, with delegates from a wide range of patient organisations.
This Area provides an opportunity to discuss and explore diverse perspectives, address needs and roles, and consider how these contribute to the broader landscape of European and international dermatology.
