•To share and discuss good practices for the implementation of the Directive;

•To facilitate greater understanding regarding the role of National Contact Points in your country and how patient groups could support their effectiveness;

•To agree an approach to evaluate the impact of the legislation from a patients‘ perspective;

•To create an informal network of patient leaders interested and committed in CBHC to monitor developments over the coming years.
