Driving Progress in Patient Engagement Through Insight, Connection and Collaboration
The PM Society Patient Engagement Interest Group (PEIG) is strengthening its mission for 2026 with a renewed focus on driving meaningful, actionable change across patient engagement. Our work continues to be grounded in improving patient experiences and outcomes, and this year we are placing particular emphasis on three core objectives:
- Delivering thought‑leading content and events that challenge assumptions and inspire progress
- Creating an accessible, safe space for all stakeholders to connect, share and learn from one another
- Partnering with industry leaders and groups to amplify great resources, tools and examples from across the sector
As patient engagement continues to evolve, our aim is to support the industry in embedding approaches that are not only compliant and consistent, but genuinely impactful for the communities we serve. By bringing together diverse perspectives, from industry, patient groups, consultancies and beyond, we hope to surface what works, highlight emerging best practice, and strengthen the partnerships that underpin meaningful engagement.
A key part of this work is our ongoing Best Practice Sharing Initiative. Through this initiative, we are gathering real‑world examples of effective patient engagement and support programmes, capturing lessons learned, and translating them into practical guidance that can help elevate standards across the sector.
We’d value your contribution
