Networks

Establishing partnerships between patients’ organizations and other stakeholders can help provide real benefits to patients, their families and carers.

Patients should be aware of what biological and biosimilar medicines are and what the implications of their increasing availability will mean to them. Not all stakeholders are aware of patients’ needs and how best to address them.

Therefore establishing partnerships between patients’ organisations and other stakeholders can help provide real benefits to patients, their families and carers.
