On behalf of the Rare Disease Forum Steering Group, this third virtual event of 2022 is being led by IPPOSI and is open to all people living with rare diseases, carers and patient organisations, as well as key stakeholders such as health and social care professionals, researchers, industry representatives, funders, policymakers, politicians and all with an interest in rare diseases.

The event will feature a panel of speakers with perspectives from patients and patient organisations, policymakers, and health researchers. A draft agenda is being finalised and will be sent in due course.
