PxP Virtual Conference

Standing for ‘For Patients, By Patients’, PxP 2024 is entirely led by an international team of patient and public partners and is a Patients Included™ event. Our purpose is to share resources, mentorship and community with patient partners and others involved in health research. Ultimately, our goal is partnering to make research stronger.

This free, virtual event aims to bring you a wealth of knowledge, skills and resources on patient engagement in health research. Patient engagement in health research, also known as patient and public involvement (in the UK) or consumer involvement (in Australia). ‘Patient engagement’ in health research is where patients are research team members. This is different from volunteering to be a research participant where you might help advance research or healthcare, but a research participant generally does not give input into the research study itself. Whatever language you prefer, we warmly welcome everyone to attend.

PxP is a must-attend event for these two reasons:

  1. PxP is specifically For Patients. While there has been excellent progress in the available patient engagement resources, many of these are designed for other members of the research team. Although we welcome health researchers to join us at the event in September, our key priority will be patient partners and other people with lived experience.
  2. We are led entirely By Patients. Every topic and speaker on the PxP conference program has been chosen by our experienced international committee of patient partners.

For those based in Europe, Africa and America, the dates are September 10-12, and for those in parts of Asia and Oceania the dates are September 11-13. Please note the timings for Day 3 are different from Days 1 and 2. This is because we would like as many people as possible from across the globe to have a chance to join us live. We would love you to join us! After the event, we will be hosting recordings on the PxP website which will be freely available.

2024 Steering Committee hope statement: To unite, inspire, and empower patients on their journey to health and wellness. May this summit be a beacon of hope fostering community, knowledge, and resilience as we navigate challenges together. Let us stand strong, advocate boldly, and transform research and healthcare for a brighter, healthier future.

Work on the agenda is nearly complete, and we look forward to sharing the session and speaker details with you soon. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions: contact@pxphub.org
