Abbott UK

Abbott has a proud history of working with patient organizations in Europe and throughout the world.

Patient organizations provide valuable information and support to patients and to the people that care for them, such as family and friends. We believe that we can support these organizations in their efforts to help patients understand and manage their disease.

Abbott’s relationships with patient organizations are based on trust, respect and mutual benefit. We aim for transparency and high ethical standards in all of our relationships.

We learn about issues of concern to patients and together, look for ways to address them in the best possible way. By building sustainable relationships, we also work toward advancing dialogue around healthcare issues and together, can seek ways to ensure optimal delivery of healthcare.

Our support to patient organizations takes the forms of event support, organizational support, patient education and caregiver education.
