I can now take complex medical information and present it in such a way, that the patient can understand and feel clear about where they stand, in the drug development process. The EUPATI course has given me access to people with a variety of skill sets who are not only willing to share their knowledge and experience but also their inspiring stories.

Rachel Lynch, Ireland

This course has made a hugely important contribution to the public health space and should be a mainstay of publicly funded education. This is an unprecedented and vital course that gives normal people a serious understanding of the intricate and complex environment of therapeutic development, marketing and access.
I applied to better understand the complexities of the world of medicinal development, marketing and access, in order to better serve my community and be a more effective stakeholder in this vital process that affects peoples' lives.
Amanda Bok, Belgium
The EUPATI course has harnessed the skills I needed to play an effective and active part in Research & Development with confidence. The EUPATI course has allowed me to network with others in Europe who want to strengthen the patients voice.
Margaret Graham McDonald, Scotland
Patient advocates need all the knowledge and support they can get. We all work in different environments in our countries and we face different challenges and we can all learn from each other on how to do a better job.
Through EUPATI we understand that what we do as patient advocates is very important and we are provided with the tools to do more in the field of drug development which is especially important in rare diseases where we expect more research to be done in future and more medicines to be developed for patients. Thank you EUPATI for empowering patients to be more influential, knowledgeable, effective and to be stronger as patient advocate.
Vesna Aleksovska, Republic of North Macedonia

Adherence

In medicine, adherence describes the degree to which a patient correctly follows medical advice. Poor adherence is often associated with patients not following prescribed medicines and treatment regimes. Non-adherence or poor adherence has been reported as a major problem in medical practice and can also affect the outcomes of a clinical trial. Poor adherence, or failure to follow treatment instructions, may be attributed to a number of reasons such as poor communication, forgetfulness, or unpleasant side-effects.

Efforts to improve adherence in clinical practice have included simplifying medication packaging, providing medication reminders, improving patient education, and limiting the number of medications prescribed simultaneously. Various measures of adherence are used in clinical trials, for instance: the assessment of pharmacological response, electronic diaries, residual tablet count, devices to monitor tablet removal from containers, testing for medicine in blood or urine, or the use of pharmacological markers/indicators.
