Improving the lives of patients is what drives us at Ipsen. We view our work with patient advocacy groups as a pivotal part of delivering on that ambition.
At Ipsen we pride ourselves on working with patient advocacy groups in a way that reflects our core ethical values and maintains integrity. We strive to build long-term partnerships that offer mutual value, support the independent initiatives of patient advocacy groups and help them achieve their ambitions for patients.
Throughout every collaboration we set clear goals, operate transparently and always support a patient organisation’s need to remain independent. Details of financial support Ipsen has provided to patient groups in the UK and Ireland are set out below.
