PiCC United’s Advisory Platforms

Together, the Advisory Network and Hub form a unique bridge between strategy and practice – and between patients and professionals.

shape the future of patient engagement

At PiCC United, we know that real change happens when strategy and day-to-day practice align – and when professionals and patients work side by side.
 
That’s why we’ve created two connected spaces for professional stakeholders who are committed to advancing patient engagement:
 
    • The Advisory Network (Knowledge partner)  – for strategic leaders and decision-makers working to embed patient engagement at the system, or organizational level.
    • The Advisory Hub – for practitioners and professionals who work hands-on with patient involvement in research, healthcare, or education.

Together, they form a dynamic ecosystem where knowledge is shared, ideas are tested, and sustainable change is co-created – always with patients as equal partners.

 

PiCC United is an open and dedicated community for those who are passionate about strengthening the role of patients in healthcare. Here, patient representatives, professionals, researchers, companies and organisations from around the world meet to share experiences, best practices and discuss ways to achieve meaningful involvement.

 

Whether you are new to the field or have many years of experience, there is a place for you in the community.

For PiCC United, the Knowledge Partners network brings together organisations, experts, institutions, and global partners committed to strengthening meaningful, ethical, and evidence-based patient involvement across healthcare, research, and policy.

This network is designed for strategic actors who actively contribute to shaping the future of patient engagement and advocacy — including patient organisations, healthcare stakeholders, academia, NGOs, industry collaborators, and international initiatives aligned with PiCC United’s mission and values.

As a Knowledge Partner or Global Partner, you become part of a cross-sector and international collaboration focused on creating sustainable, inclusive, and practical approaches to patient involvement — bridging strategy, lived experience, and implementation.

As part of the network, partners have the opportunity to:

    • Contribute to the development of frameworks, tools, and recommendations
    • Participate in strategic dialogue and collaborative initiatives
    • Exchange knowledge, experiences, and best practices across sectors and countries
    • Support more ethical, diverse, and impactful patient involvement
    • Strengthen visibility and collaboration around patient-centred innovation and advocacy

Together, our Knowledge Partners and Global Partners help build bridges between patients, professionals, organisations, and decision-makers — turning patient involvement from intention into meaningful action.

 

Ready to collaborate?

Together, we strengthen patient voices, partnerships, and sustainable change across healthcare and research.

For professionals who work closely with patient involvement and co-creation

Advisory Hub is a collaboration space for those who work with patient involvement as part of their daily work, such as clinical researchers, project managers, educators and patient engagement managers. Here, experiences, challenges and solutions are shared in close collaboration with committed patient representatives.

As part of the Advisory Hub, you will have access to:

    • Knowledge sharing and professional networks with other practitioners
    • Sparring on specific cases and dilemmas
    • Joint development of materials and approaches
    • Inspiration to strengthen the voice of patients in practice

Together, the Advisory Network and Hub form a bridge between strategy and practice – and between patients and professionals.

Ready to join? Together, we make patient involvement more meaningful – in theory and in reality.

A structured way to support the patient voice – without influencing it

Through the Strategic Sponsor Advisory Board, we bring together mission-aligned partners who want to strengthen patient involvement in a way that is ethical, transparent, and independent.

This is not a traditional sponsorship model. It is a structured space for dialogue, where organisations can contribute to long-term change in healthcare—while respecting clear boundaries that protect patient voices and organisational integrity.
