Work package WP16 – TTF5 – Patient Involvement
This TTF will focus on developing strategies to improve patient empowerment and engagement through European health care cancer networking. The goal will be to develop a toolkit for different methods of patient and citizen engagement that can be tailored to specific contexts and to build on existing national and European patient organization networks for the implementation of the tools.
Three main sources will feed the toolkit: 1) A process of co-construction during several workshops and working groups with established patient organizations. 2) Existing methods of deliberation and participation developed in the field of deliberative democracy. 3) The outcomes of the JA TEHDaS e- consultation on patient and citizen engagement.
Lead beneficiary: SCIENCANO
