PATIENT ORGANISATION GROUPS
Working with Patient Organisations
Patient organisations play a vital role in representing the interests of people affected by specific diseases or conditions. They help to inform and support patients, while also advocating for the rights of patients and their carers.
At Ferring UK, we are committed to supporting the valuable work of these groups. We collaborate on projects where there is a shared objective and clear benefit to patients.
Our relationships with patient organisations are built on mutual respect, transparency, and a shared commitment to improving patient care.
Below is a list of the patient organisations that Ferring UK has supported, covering activities up to and including the year 2024.
We publish this information annually in line with our commitment to openness and accountability.
