Working together: a handbook for industry and patient organisation partnerships 2025

Patient organisations represent the best interests of people with lived experience. They have taken years to build their patient and clinical communities, developing expertise in supporting patient and public involvement. 

Partnerships between health charities and pharmaceutical companies can bring huge value in helping support patient communities. This handbook, created alongside the Patient Information Forum, is aimed at enabling these partnerships to happen. 

We hope that this resource is a valuable tool for patient organisations and companies to create successful partnerships for patients.
