The Pledge Record

From 1997 until 2007, I worked for 10 years at Alzheimer Europe, a non-governmental organisation aiming to provide a voice to people with dementia and their carers. Alzheimer Europe is an umbrella organisation having around 30 member organisations all around Europe. As the Communications officer of this NGO, I was used to work in close collaboration with our member organisations and encourage them to become involved organisations. I also organised the annual conferences and, at the beginning, all invited speakers were only made up of international eminent experts. In 1999, we decided to invite a patient during the plenary session. It was the most interesting session I attended. Since this day, I am convinced of the importance of patient’s voice. Tis experience had a real impact on the way we conducted the projects after because the priorities of patients were included. Communicate with all stakeholders is my professional way of working!

Through NPO Malta, I am taking part on a national Radio programme educating patients and raising awareness of their rights as per the Patents Charter. Here I am giving the telephone numbers where the year can fell free to communicate with us and ask for any assistance where they need it and we work together with them to solve their problems which they may have.

I will help create tools to communicate with patients

I commit to communicate openly, frankly and constructively with the patients
