The PxP (For Patients, By Patients) conference will be September 9-11 (for those in Europe, Africa or North and South America) or 10-12 (Asia and Oceania). This free, virtual event aims to bring you a wealth of knowledge, skills and resources on Patient Engagement in health research.

It 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 researchers. Although we welcome health researchers to join us at the event in September, our key priority will be patient partners and other individuals 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.

PxP is committed to help build capacity for patient engagement in health research.

We are kindly inviting all registrants to consider sharing this free opportunity with people in your network who may not already be involved in health research (in addition to those who are). Social media images are available here for download.

PxP 2025 can provide a great mentorship opportunity, and the PxP steering committee encourages everyone in the research team to attend. Research teams may also consider other ways to support virtual attendance at this event. PxP will be sharing more tips and resources on this topic soon.

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
