About us - Patients Unite

This is our value

We are a dedicated patient advocacy non for profit organisation made up of a diverse group of individuals, carers, healthcare professionals and volunteers working together to improve conditions for patients in healthcare. We are united by our common goal of ensuring that every patient receives the respect, care and treatment they deserve.

We actively work to promote patient rights, voices and wellbeing through a range of advocacy initiatives, educational programmes and support measures. Our activities range from campaigning for better access to care to lobbying for policy changes that benefit patients. Our presence extends across national and regional territories, operating in hospitals, health centres and in the community. In addition, our presence is felt online through our social media platforms and website, where we share information, resources and stories from patients and carers.

Mission

The mission of Patients Unite is to support and promote the rights and well-being of patient advocates in the field of patient advocacy. Through advocacy and education (e.g. EUPATI), we seek to create a community that prioritises the needs and rights of patient advocates and avoids overlooking or marginalising anyone in their work.

Vision

We are working to establish a system where patient advocates are the focus, where their needs and rights are paramount, and where their voice is listened to and recognised. Our goal is to create a society where the most prominent advocates are treated fairly, where access to them is easy and of high quality for everyone, regardless of their background or situation.

Founded in 2024
The association was founded by Lisbeth Snede out of a growing realisation of the need for increased focus on patient rights and participation in healthcare. We have continued to develop and expand our activities since our founding and are constantly adapting to the changing needs and challenges of the healthcare sector.
