Myeloma Patients Europe (MPE) has today relaunched the Myeloma Access Atlas, an online platform designed to provide myeloma and AL amyloidosis patient advocates with the information and tools needed to work effectively on access issues. Explore the Platform here.
The Atlas provides country-specific and comparative information on European healthcare systems, including data on system performance and on access inequalities to myeloma treatments. The aim behind the data and tools provided is to identify, understand and overcome variation in access to treatment and care in Europe. It is also underpinned by the policy and regulatory work MPE does in Europe.
Myeloma Patients Europe (MPE) is seeking research grant applications, for funding of up to 100k €, on a project exploring shared-decision making in myeloma.
If you are interested, please read the information below and complete the following application form. Deadline for submission is 3 pm CET on Friday 5th of November 2021
