WECAN Patient Experience Data (PED) online course launching on World Cancer Day
Are you part of a patient organisation that wants to shape healthcare decisions, but doesn’t always know where to start?
On 4 February, WECAN Foundation will launch a free online course on Patient Experience Data (PED) for patients, advocates, patient leaders but also people interested in generating PED within the cancer advocacy work.
This launch comes at a time when patient experience and quality of life are receiving increasing attention in healthcare decision-making, including from regulators such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA). As patient experience data is becoming more important in research, policy, and treatment discussions, the course aims to support patient communities in building the skills needed to engage with this growing focus.
The course consists of four interactive modules and includes:
- Real-life case studies
- Short knowledge checks
- Practical frameworks and tools
- Resources to support the use of patient experience in healthcare, research, and policy
The course is designed to be accessible and flexible, allowing participants to learn at their own pace.
- Fully online and free
- Open to participants at any time
- No research background required
By the end of the course, participants will have a clearer understanding of how lived experience can be strengthened with evidence to make patient voices count in decision-making.
Further information will be shared via WECAN’s social media channels!
