Why the Patient Engagement Open Forum 2025 Matters for the FH Europe Foundation Community

The Patient Engagement Open Forum (PEOF) 2025, set to take place in Baveno, Italy, June 10-12, 2025, is more than another event on the healthcare calendar. It is a pivotal gathering where global champions of patient engagement come together to shape the future of inclusive, patient-centred healthcare systems. For the FH Europe Foundation Community, this event is not only relevant—it is essential. 

A Platform for Co-Creation and Advocacy 

PEOF 2025 is designed as a space for provocative co-creation, where patients, advocates, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers collaborate to challenge the status quo and co-design solutions that reflect real-world needs. For a community like FH Europe Foundation —dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) and other inherited lipid conditions—this is a golden opportunity to ensure that the voices of those living with rare and underdiagnosed conditions are heard and acted upon. 

FH Europe Foundation Will Be There – In Person 

We are proud to share that FH Europe will be attending PEOF 2025 in person. Our presence at this important event underscores our commitment to active participation in shaping the future of patient engagement. It’s a chance to represent our community, share our insights, and engage directly with global stakeholders. 

Why It Matters for FH Europe 

1. Amplifying the Patient Voice: FH Europe Foundation has long championed the importance of patient-led advocacy. PEOF 2025 offers a global stage to share lived experiences, highlight unmet needs, and influence the development of more inclusive health policies. 

1. Building Strategic Alliances: The event brings together a diverse network of stakeholders. For FH Europe Foundation, this is a chance to forge new partnerships, strengthen existing collaborations, and align with like-minded organisations working towards equitable access to care. 

1. Driving Innovation in Engagement: As healthcare systems evolve, so too must the ways in which patients are engaged. PEOF 2025 will explore cutting-edge approaches to engagement that FH Europe Foundation can adapt and implement across its network of national patient organisations. 

1. Shaping Policy and Practice: With discussions focused on real-world impact, the insights gained at PEOF can directly inform FH Europe Foundation’s advocacy strategies at both national and European levels.

As we look to the future, events like PEOF 2025 remind us that true progress in healthcare begins with listening to and learning from patients. For the FH Europe Foundation Community, this is a call to action—to engage, to collaborate, and to lead.
