In 2012 the Minister of Health of Catalonia promoted the Advisory Council of Catalonia Patients, a permanent organ of consultation and participation of the representatives of patients of the Catalan healthcare system in the process of elaboration, decision and development of the Department of Health policies. On October 17th, the Council will organize its Second Annual Conference under the slogan “sharing to improve”.

Active Citizenship Network has been invited to participate in order to bring the experience in the field of patient participation in health policies, at both the national and international level.
