And who decides? In June, join Biopeople who coorganises this debate at the People's Political Festival (Folkemødet) Taking our point of departure in a new survey (soon to be published), international experiences and real patient stories, we will debate: What are the benefits of reaching out to patients when deciding which medicines to research and develop? What is the limit to meaningful patient engagement? What are the barriers? And will more patient involvement increase the relevance of drug development and patients interest in research participation?
