Abstract:

This article describes a case study of the involvement of patient groups in developing advice for the Health Council of the Netherlands. The aim of the involvement was to set a research agenda for the development of medical products. The process involved four phases including interviews and focus groups with patients and patient representatives. The Advisory Board found the advice constructive and incorporated patients’ input into their advice to the Minister of Health.
