Building on the concept of the first MPNE consensus meeting, we are delighted to invite you to MPNE CONSENSUS 2024.
BP4P- by patients for patients: MPNE is responsible for the overall organisation and the drafting of a white paper covering the discussion at the meeting and a final consensus document capturing the position of the MPNE community.
​
Co-creation- the event is co-created with partners from the space who want to discuss their work or projects with the cancer patient community. Confirmed so far are:

Problem statement
Patients always get asked- or at least listened to- last. And that despite the fact that, thanks to GDPR, any type of data use ultimately relies on the end user’s agreement; societal support is therefore critical to the success to the EHDS.
Not using data is no option.
With patients critically relying on progress in research and the successful implementation of research findings into routine healthcare through new practices, services or products, not leveraging the potential inherent in data use and artificial intelligence is irresponsible, in particular, in light of aging populations and increasing resource constraints.
​
Trust is good. Control is better.
At the same time, patients and their families are those most likely to suffer from data breaches and misuse, e.g. here. Misuse can and will occur, even despite initial good intent. Therefore, systems that ensure effective anticipation and transparent, credible mitigation by design are essential to gain patients’ and citizens’ trust. With GDPR maximally distributing control to the level of the individual citizen, 'no-trust' environments that ensure protection by design and that ensure that citizens KNOW and not only HOPE they are safe will be essential prerequisites for a functioning EHDS.
​
This consensus meeting will address topics that MPNE has identified as critical to the overall discussion on the usage of data, including 2ndary use, artificial intelligence and business models.
​
Program
So far, we anticipate 5 areas for discussion, each focusing on a topic of particular relevance to our community.
