Main Forum
The Forum of Patient Organisations (FOP) is Poland's largest annual conference aimed at patient organisations. For more than two decades, it has been a space for dialogue between representatives of the patient community and decision-makers, experts and institutions of the health care system.
The event brings together hundreds of participants, addresses key healthcare topics and serves to empower patients in decision-making processes.
miniFOP
The mini-FOP is a new formula for meetings, organised periodically throughout the year in a smaller group without an audience. It enables in-depth discussion on specific topics, ongoing exchange of experiences and joint development of recommendations.
The mini-FOP complements the main Forum by ensuring continuity of dialogue and collaboration between the patient community and institutions.
