The EPDA needs to:
act as a facilitator for frequent, quality dialogue and the sharing of successful activities across the MOs network
act as a central contact and conduit for MOs so they can access specific resources that already exist within other MOs
share successful activities in order to maximise the impact of the MOs’ pooled resources across Europe.
provide targeted information and support to MOs where necessary
assist them in achieving their core aims and objectives; for example, developing education tools and training support in relation to lobbying national political stakeholders
enable MOs to strengthen the impact of their projects and initiatives within their own countries through the provision of information and resources – for example, new patient outcomes data, statistics and political information.
put Parkinson’s on top of the European political agenda
provide a strong voice in Europe when fighting for the interest of PwPs with key European decision makers – for example, lobbying the EU parliament and the European Commission, and European umbrella organisations such as the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA) and the European Brain Council (EBC)
raise awareness of important and emerging European agendas with MOs that may impact their ability to achieve their core objectives.
