The Patients Association are the leading independent charity with a direct line to patients living with any health condition. This gives us a unique insight into patients' experience and a holistic view of the health and care system from their perspective. We talk to thousands of patients each year - including through our helpline - and therefore are experts in representing patient voice exactly as we hear it.

Our mission is to ensure that everybody can access and benefit from the health and care they need to live well, by ensuring that services are designed and delivered through equal partnership with patients.

All of us at some time will need to access health and social care services, and the Patients Association is committed to supporting all patients, their carers and their families. Leaving a donation in your Will can allow us to continue providing our helpline, reaching more patients who need help or information about their care.
