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 in February 2018. 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!

Final decision is expected soon!

Pain Alliance Europe (PAE) carries on in 2018 its mission to create awareness about chronic pain. One of the association’s dedicated projects “Survey on chronic pain” – touches the core of the declared mission of the organisation, to give a voice to pain patients and make it heard there where decisions are taken and things may thus be changed for the better and in the interest of the patients. The 1st PAE Survey from 2017 has shown that 70% of the respondents needed over 1 year to get diagnosed. 78% of treated patients reported that their treatment was not as good as they expected. More Infos about the results can be found here. Please participate in the 2nd edition of the PAE Survey in 2018 which has just started. If you are a pain patient, a member of a pain patient’s family or extended family, a carer or a friend, and you have specific information on how the quality of a patient life is affected when dealing with a chronic pain condition, please take 5 minutes to complete our Survey in your preferred language
