The Patient Advocate Incubator
A PLATFORM, FOR PATIENT ADVOCATES, BY PATIENT ADVOCATES!
Search for training and capacity building in the NPO field, and you’ll find a lot on offer. However, few provide training that prioritises relevance, adaptability, sustainability, and usability to the needs of patient advocates and peer group organisations.
Campaigning for Cancer identified a need for a platform that could specifically improve on current training and capacity-building programs, resources, and tools, by developing a program that delivers practical outcomes with facilitators, presenters, and materials combined to offer products tailored to all needs.
The Patient Advocate Incubator is an on-demand learning platform that provides tools for patient advocates in the Middle East and Africa, to develop sustainable advocacy around patients’ needs and the needs of their individual organizations, in conjunction with key policy and decision-makers.
The incubator is a flexible learning platform with facilitators and subject-matter experts pertinent to the advocate’s business needs, market, and region (for example, with the appropriate language, learning methods and timing, taking into account the existing knowledge base of the advocate, network opportunities and mentoring).
Modules include knowledge-sharing sessions for developing knowledge and skills, peer discussions and group work, and theory-on-demand learning relevant to the advocates and the environment they work in.
Learners completing a session will receive a certificate of attendance, while those completing the module will receive a “certificate of completion” and a completed tangible work product.
