From the President’s Desk

Welcome to March Madness! In the US this is the timeframe when college basketball playoffs begin but at GAAPP it means the busy time of closing funding decisions, kicking off new projects & planning for our 2023 events!

In this month’s newsletter you won’t want to miss registering for our next GAAPP Academy on Volunteer Engagement & Management. Also, be on the lookout for details about our Scientific Program & Annual General Meeting. We hope all of you will join us in Hamburg! Finally, welcome to our new members and congratulations to Atopika’s successful campaign highlighted herein.

Keep your eye on the ball & never forget the “why” behind the “what” you are doing each day!

All my best,
Tonya

Clinical Research Survey – US Only

GAAPP, Antidote, and SCORR Marketing are conducting a survey to learn what patients and caregivers think about clinical research, and we’d love to have your input. By answering these questions, you can help us make clinical trial participation easier for those who would like to take part.

Survey participation will take about 20 minutes; your individual answers will remain confidential, and we will publicly share only the combined, overall results. Please note that participants for this particular survey should be based in the United States.

If you’d like to participate, access the survey here. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Atopika Campaign funded by GAAPP

Zavod Atopika launched the first national media campaign on atopic dermatitis in Slovenia, Look deeper – I’m more than my skin. The project allowed the Slovenian-Norwegian partners to achieve greater public awareness and initiate much-needed changes in support of people with atopic dermatitis. The campaign was led and implemented by Zavod Atopika, the University Clinical Center Maribor, the University Hospital of Northern Norway, and GAAPP.

We request that you follow us there and share with your colleagues and community, so we can continue the engagement with your team and patient community. Follow us!
