Insight, strategy and advocacy rooted in lived experience

Realise Advocacy helps organisations understand communities, clarify priorities and turn evidence into practical action.

We support research, policy, strategy, engagement, campaigns and access work across rare disease and wider health policy

 

Realise Advocacy brings together complementary expertise in lived experience, community engagement, charity leadership, policy, access and system influence.

Realise Advocacy is working to build equitable and sustainable support for rare disease PAGs' involvement in drug development and access


Realise Advocacy supports patient involvement in drug development and access through:


  • Providing practical support to individual rare disease PAGs involved in drug development and HTA
  • Working with partners to drive a sustainable and equitable approach to supporting all rare disease PAGs
  • Supporting companies to maximise the impact of their engagement with rare disease PAGs
Lived-experience-led research and evaluation

We design and support research that involves people with lived experience from the beginning, including PPIE strategy, peer researcher models, community insight, inclusive methods and accessible materials.


Policy, evidence and evaluation

We help turn complex evidence into clear findings, policy reports, recommendations, briefings and practical outputs that can support decision-making.


Patient organisation strategy and advocacy

We support patient organisations with strategy, campaigns, stakeholder engagement, community insight, board development and advocacy planning.


Patient advocacy in access and decision-making

We support meaningful patient involvement in drug development, HTA, access, service improvement and decision-making processes.
