Navigate Complex Regulatory, Supply & Operational Hurdles to Streamline Patient Access, Optimise Compliant Evidence Generation, & Operate Successful EAPs in Chronic & Rare Diseases
Welcome to the 4th Operationalise: Early Access Programmes Summit Europe
Improving Global Access to Life Changing Therapeutics
When patients can't afford to wait, Expanded Access Programmes become a vital lifeline. With growing demand in rare diseases, oncology, and advanced therapies - and increasing expectations from regulators, physicians, and patients - the pressure to execute programmes effectively has never been higher. With 18 of the 27 EU countries having their own compassionate use guidelines, access teams are navigating a complex and high-stakes landscape. Faced with inconsistent regulations, limited internal resources, and heightened scrutiny over compliance, data, and supply, success demands precision, collaboration, and expertise.
Join 120+ leaders from Access, Clinical Operations, Medical Affairs, Regulatory, and Supply Chain at the 4th Operationalise: Early Access Programs Summit Europe, the only forum designed to tackle these realities head-on. Whether you’re navigating access for the first time or scaling a complex, multi-country programme, you’ll leave equipped with practical takeaways, proven frameworks, and peer-led case studies to tackle your biggest executional challenges head-on.
