EPAP Live: 2. Advocacy

Time 12:00 – 13:00 CET

Online
29/03/2023

Our online European Patient Ambassador Programme (EPAP) has gone from strength to strength since it was launched. We are very proud of the number of individuals who have completed the course and then been inspired to bring people together to improve lung health, increase awareness on specific issues, and lobby leaders to make important changes.

We want to add even more value to EPAP by running a series of live webinars to highlight topics that we think will complement the skills people already have.

This second webinar of the series will focus on advocacy.

Event overview


Are you a patient organisation representative active in advocacy? Or an individual looking to learn more about impacting the political agenda and public opinion on health topics?
