About the Made with Patients Awards
The Made with Patients Awards is the first global accolade exclusively celebrating innovators in patient engagement. Hosted by PFMD, this award recognises outstanding contributions across medicines development, MedTech, digital health sectors and more. It's not just an award; it's a movement towards making patient engagement a norm in our health ecosystem.Our collective goal is to make patient engagement happen across all dimensions of the health system. An essential part is showcasing what “good” patient engagement looks like. In the past, we’ve done this through the Book of Good Practices, which led to the creation of this formal celebration. The awards shine a spotlight on those who not only participate but lead by example in integrating patients' voices in healthcare innovation.
The awards ceremony, which has been taking place at the yearly onsite PEOF, usually gathers a diverse group of stakeholders from the patient engagement community, where selected nominees, individuals and initiatives, are celebrated. These individuals and groups are chosen by a multi-stakeholder jury for their exemplary efforts to centre patient needs and perspectives in healthcare solutions. Through the "Made with Patients" Awards, PFMD aims to foster a growing network of people whose main goal is effective patient engagement, providing them with a platform for recognition and encouraging a broader adoption of these practices across the health sector.
This initiative is about more than just acknowledgment; it's about inspiring a fundamental shift towards patient-centred care in every aspect of health services and product development.
