About the organization

Read more

The Patient Focused Medicines Development (PFMD) group, established in 2015, is an independent multinational coalition, managed in collaboration with The Synergist. Its goal is to bring together initiatives and best practices that integrate the voice of the patient throughout the lifecycle of medicines development, thereby speeding up the creation and implementation of an effective, globally standardized framework. PFMD seeks to have a balanced representation of stakeholders to ensure transparency, inclusiveness, and credibility. Stakeholders include patients and patient organizations across diverse areas of health and industry. We also intend to invite regulators, payers and other professional organizations to the global group to ensure diversity of perspectives.

Mission : By partnering with patients to design and develop new solutions, we can co-create methods for them to achieve their health goals.

To pave the path for new innovations in research and lifecycle of medicine development, we intend to improve the patient experience by prioritizing patient preferences and values and creating synergies across interventions which involve the voice of the patient.

We partner WITH patients.

Vision : Transform the way in which we understand, engage, and partner with patients globally in the design and development of research and medicines by focusing on unmet patient needs. We are bringing together and synergizing disparate but complementary efforts that integrate the voice of the PATIENT across the lifecycle of medicine.

Organization primary focus : Driving patient engagement through co-creation, collaboration, culture change and knowledge sharing
