Growing your patient community by identifying patients and groups online
When it comes to a patient group’s community, “the more, the merrier” couldn’t be more true.
Bigger patient communities allow patient groups to increase the level of engagement in their activities, therefore maximising the impact of the support they are offering.
It can also make a rare disease more attractive to researchers on financial and practical grounds.
