Endo-ERN Patient Representatives ePAG
Adequate patient representation and coverage of all Main Thematic Groups, and preferably also of the Work-Packages across all member states is top-priority for Endo-ERN.
ePAGs will bring together elected patient representatives and affiliated organisations who will ensure that the patient voice is heard throughout the ERN development process. Patient organisations can become ePAG member organisations and patients can become ePAG representatives.
