Survey of engagement within the EU Health Policy Platform is closed and SIP received the 2nd highest number of votes of all candidates! Throughout this process, we had the opportunity to see that interest for the social impact of pain really spans across many different types of stakeholders. The European Commission has given the SIP platform the opportunity to make the SIP Expert Group, on the EU Health Policy Platform, a “Thematic Network on SIP”. The announcement of the selected Thematic Networks is expected by end of December. What does this mean? Within the EU Health Policy Platform, the SIP Expert Group will move into the public domain. This means that stakeholders will not have to register anymore to see the platform’s content – which will enable greater public outreach! In addition, the content of the platform will feed into a draft joint statement – a useful tool in pushing the Commission into legislative action on the issue of Pain. We want to thank all endorser of the SIP platform who have voted for SIP as a Thematic Network!

THANK YOU for voting!

Good News for Innovators and Researchers!   Pain has been included in the draft EU Work Programme 2018–2020 in part 8 "Health, demographic change and wellbeing". See SC1-BHC-23-2018: Novel patient-centred approaches for survivorship, palliation and/or end-of-life care (page 54-55)   Current Text of the Call: Specific Challenge: Health conditions linked to end-of-life issues, acute and chronic pain, life-threatening non-communicable diseases, late or long term side effects and consequences of diseases and their treatments impact quality of life and pose an immense societal and economic burden. Palliative, end-of-life and survivorship care benefits patients with malignant and non-malignant chronic health conditions, providing relief from their symptoms and improving their quality of life. From 38% to 74.0% of the affected population is estimated to be in need of palliative care. While a variety of interventions are in use, these are often not adequately validated or adapted to the specific needs of patients affected with a specific chronic disease or with multimorbidities. Therefore a need exists to strengthen the evidence base for available effective interventions improving quality of life in the domains of palliative, end-of-life and survivorship care. Scope: Proposals should demonstrate, the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of new, improved or specifically adapted pharmacological and/or non-pharmacological interventions to either relieve symptoms (e.g. pain) and suffering caused by life-threatening noncommunicable diseases (including disabilities), or serious late and long-term side effects of disease treatments in patients and survivors, or symptoms that occur at the end of life. Randomised clinical trials or observational studies of new or improved patient and/or Family.
