Patient advisory board

Fimea launched the operation of a patient advisory board in spring 2020.

The advisory board’s operation is aimed at:

to incorporate patient perspectives in official duties and to make it possible to take them into account in Fimea’s operation,
to establish direct communication between Fimea and patient and disability organisations and to strength the flow of information between them,
to increase the transparency of regulatory operations and awareness of them, and
to increase expert communication and reliable information

The matters discussed by the patient advisory board in its meetings are related to Fimea’s operations and tasks. The topics of the meetings are planned jointly according to the wishes and needs of Fimea’s officials and the members of the advisory board.

The patient advisory board serves a term of two years at a time.
