Gaining first-hand insights from patients

We invite patients to explain and discuss their diseases with our staff. They describe how these diseases affect their everyday lives and to answer questions. The testimonies of these patients, which highlighted unmet medical needs, have already impacted our research strategy.  

We have also established patient advisory boards for epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease that include patients, so that we can gain deeper insights into the therapeutic and support required by patients. Already, these boards have helped UCB to identify innovative solutions.
