SMAcademy

SMAcademy is a SMA Europe capacity building initiative for patient advocates in SMA. SMAcademy provides patient advocates with tools to amplify their efficacy and impact when advocating for a better life for people living with SMA.

Co-create. Peer exchange. Expert opinion.

Patient advocates need knowledge across areas of expertise, from understanding SMA to medicine development, regulatory processes, policy, and access. They also need a vast skillset to bring people together, lobby with key stakeholders, and increase the impact of their organisations. At the same time, patient advocates also have a wealth of hands-on and first-hand experience advocating and living with SMA that makes them invaluable experts in the field.

Through a variety of learning opportunities, SMAcademy provides a global platform for patient advocates to:

Learn Together. Teach each other.
