Patients' Organisations Forum
FOP formats
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.

20 years of strengthening patient organisations
Every year, the Forum brings together representatives of associations and foundations from across the country, and the participation of experts, decision-makers and representatives of the administration gives this event a real impact on decision-making processes. The focus remains on patients' experiences – their needs, barriers and expectations of the healthcare system. The Forum serves as a platform for cooperation between organisations operating in various therapeutic areas, strengthening their voice and supporting joint activities to improve the quality of life of patients.
