Currently there is a growing recognition of the importance of reflecting the opinions of patients in policy-making. In light of this, we have been conducting research on patient involvement with patients to identify effective methodologies and to consider the likely outcomes of these.
For this symposium we have invited speakers, both from Japan and abroad, who are currently active in patient involvement research to introduce on-going initiatives. The panel discussion session will create a space for patients to further engage with the research content and offer their opinion on the presented results. 
We see this symposium as an opportunity for us to consider together what is at stake with patient involvement research, and to consider how to maximize its contribution as we move forward. We hope you will join us.
