The 2018 Rare Disease ‘Fair for Rare’ Summit builds on the themes of the Fair for Rare campaign and RVA’s Call for a National Rare Disease Framework: 6 Strategic Priorities.
The two-day event will be a mix of plenary sessions and breakout workshops, while also providing attendees with ample networking opportunities.
The Summit brings together rare disease stakeholders – patients, clinicians, researchers, the Government, and the pharmaceutical industry, with Rare Voice’s objectives being:
- To facilitate broader stakeholder engagement and collaboration between patient organisations, the Government, clinicians, researchers and the pharmaceutical industry on important issues in rare disease.
- To strengthen the rare disease voice in Australia.
- To highlight examples of best practice, policy reform and improved patient outcomes.
- To confirm the role and unique positioning of Rare Voices Australia: patient centred, with demonstrated experience in working with all stakeholders.
Tiffany Boughtwood, Australian Genomics Manager will co-facilitate a workshop focused on ‘Moving Genomics into the Healthcare System’. A number of other Australian Genomics partners will also speak at the event, including A/Prof Zornitza Stark (Victorian Clinical Genetics Services and Australian Genomics), as well as Richard Vines (CEO of Rare Cancers Australia).
