ISPEP Masterclass Series – 2026
Our Association Participated in the ISPEP Masterclass 2026 Training Series
The Association for Combating and Raising Awareness of Cardiovascular Diseases participated in the ISPEP Patient Advocacy Masterclass Series 2026 training program organized by the International Society of Patient Engagement Professionals (ISPEP).
The program, held in three online sessions between April and June 2026, covered patient advocacy, strategic communication, the evaluation of patient experience data, and strengthening patient involvement in health technology assessment (HTA) processes.
Our Association was represented by the Chair of our Board of Directors, Saliha Şebnem Zoghi, and our Advisory Member, Prof. Dr. Oktay Ergene. Our representatives, who attended all three sessions, shared knowledge and experience with international experts and earned certificates of participation at the end of the program.
As part of the training series, the core principles of patient advocacy and evidence-based advocacy were covered on April 30, effective stakeholder communication and storytelling on May 14, and the use of patient experience data by regulatory agencies and in health technology assessment processes on June 11.
Bringing together patient organization representatives and healthcare professionals from different countries, the program offered an important opportunity for our Association to take part in international knowledge sharing and to strengthen its institutional capacity.
Our Association aims to apply the knowledge and experience gained in the training program to its awareness, patient involvement, and advocacy work in the field of cardiovascular diseases.
