Collaborating with healthcare professional associations

Healthcare professional associations support and educate healthcare professionals in specific disease areas so they can provide optimum care to patients.
 

They may have similar objectives to patients’ organisations. Sometimes, healthcare professional associations and patients’ organisations combine.

The benefits of working with healthcare professional associations include:

  • sharing information
  • understanding respective needs
  • presenting a united voice in a disease area or on a particular issue.
