The Industry Voice for Patient Engagement Professionals
Imagine a life sciences industry where patient engagement is no longer siloed — but embedded into strategy, development, and decision-making. That’s the future, PEPs is building.
PEPs is the only cross-industry community created by and for Patient Engagement Professionals (PEPs) working inside companies. We are shaping patient engagement as a recognized function in business, strategic, measurable, and essential.
Our Mission and Vision
To embed patient engagement as a core business function in life sciences, by strengthening the professionals who lead it.
A future where patient-centered innovation is not an ambition, but a business standard, powered by capable professionals across every function and team.
How We Started
During the Patient Engagement Open Forum, professionals from across industry voiced the same need:
“We need a space where we can build this function—together.”
PEPs began as a 90+ member informal network and quickly became a trusted hub for patient engagement to align, skill-build, and collaborate across companies.
We’ve hosted 20+ peer-led virtual sessions on high-value topics like ESG, PE metrics, and regulatory shifts — with real-world application in mind.
Today, PEPs is evolving into a formal industry association, with a growing member base, a strategic program, and a clear ambition:
To define what it means to lead patient engagement inside a business.
