Patient Engagement

Within the Wellcome Centre for Mitochondrial Research we put patients first and ensure they are at the heart of all that we do. One of the things we value most is our continued relationship with our patients and their supporters and we believe strongly that the whole field will only move forward by us working together.  In addition to our research strategy we are very committed to keeping patients and their families fully informed of new advances in mitochondrial research and explaining the complexities of mitochondrial disease. Some of our patient engagement activities and links to further information are shown below:

• Our Patient Day
• Lily Family Day
