Supporting patient advocates to help improve early access
The Patient Advocate Fellowship aims to equip patient group leaders with the skills and experience they need to engage within early access.
Designed with patient advocates for patient advocates, the scheme offers leaders of patient groups opportunity to promote the interests of their community through tailored learning, networking and peer support. Their first-hand experience of patients’ real needs can inform EAP design, serving both patients and company.
The 2021 scheme is now ongoing. To register your interest in future schemes, please email patientadvocacy@clinigengroup.com.
The fellowship aspires to:
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The Fellowship is aimed at patient advocates who lead patient groups in areas of high unmet need.
Selected fellows will be patient advocates who already have a good grounding in the healthcare environment, and wish to expand their skills in navigating and engaging within early access on behalf of their community.
It is for individuals who would benefit from support in unlocking this space, but are finding that it is currently out of their reach.
Why CLINIGEN?
At Clinigen, we are passionate about getting the right medicine to the right patient at the right time. In early access, we work to support inclusion of the right inputs and perspectives to foster successful EAP development. The patient voice is absolutely central to this.
Our hope is that by providing the Patient Advocate Fellowship in early access, more patient-relevant EAPs will result, for the benefit of all stakeholders.
