Patient involvement in the use of medicines and new health technologies is experiencing a tremendous shift due, among other things, to social media and to new ways of interacting between patients and clinicians, and among patients themselves. The aim of this conference is to bring together patients, practitioners, academics and industry to reflect and discuss this new reality and set the scene to discover new ways of co-creating research and new practices across sectors. What does it mean to be a chronic patient in the 21st century? What role do healthcare professionals and the pharmaceutical industry play in this new landscape of cyber communities? When and how should patient data be linked to other big data and used for research purposes?

This Conference will highlight the research conducted over the period of the project in addition to exploring the unique African face of AMR and AMS in the One Health approach more broadly.
