EFA

EFA collaborated in the EPF’s Value Plus Project, which consisted in exchanging information, experiences and best practices on the involvement of patients and patient organisations in EU supported health projects. The Value Plus Project aimed at showing the added value of the involvement of patients in EU health policies and projects, and increasing the capacity of patient organisations to participate. A final conference was held in December 2009 in Gothenburg where the following tools were published: The Value Plus Toolkit for patient organisations on on how to get involved in EU funded projects, plan, evaluate and manage. The Value Plus Handbook for project co-ordinators and promoters. See also the Value Plus Policy Recommendations for the European Institutions and Member States on Patient Involvement in health programmes and policy.
