Join the Patients Association's free webinars during Patient Partnership Week 2026

Patient Partnership Week is a moment to focus on a simple but powerful truth: healthcare works best when patients are treated as partners.

Across seven free online webinars (happening 29th June – 3rd July), we’re bringing together patients, professionals, policymakers, and researchers to explore what meaningful partnership looks like in practice and why it matters, where progress is being made, and what still needs to change.
