Patient Partnership Week 2026 webinar recordings

Summary

Patient Partnership Week (29 June-3rd July 2026) is a moment to focus on a simple but powerful truth: healthcare works best when patients are treated as partners. 

Across the week, The Patients Association brought together patients, professionals, policymakers, and researchers to explore what meaningful partnership looks like in practice and why it matters, where progress is being made, and what still needs to change.
