Partnering with patient groups
Patient organisations play an important role in informing, supporting and assisting patients. As a company, we learn from this interaction, and that helps us in the development of new treatments and in providing useful information.
The more we can share in the patient journey and learn from each interaction, the better we can serve patients and build solutions.

How we manage our patient relationships
Our work with patient advocacy groups (PAGs) fully complies with the EFPIA Code of Practice, adopted by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). This code sets the standards for ensuring that relationships between pharmaceutical companies and patient advocacy organisations take place in an ethical and transparent manner. The code can be read in full on the EFPIA website.
Johnson & Johnson publishes all transfer of value details to patient organisations on its website. In accordance with this code, Johnson & Johnson publishes details of all payments, grants and support given to patient advocacy groups. We are committed to leveraging our contacts with patient groups. This is to help develop treatment paths that suit patient needs better, without compromising ethical business standards.

My IBD Journey campaign
People living with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as IBD can suffer for the rest of their lives, yet the impact of these conditions is dramatically underestimated. As some of these diseases are not readily recognised, people can suffer silently before eventually receiving treatment.
On this site is a series of short animations providing helpful advice about living well with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). These animations have been developed in association with the European Federation of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA).
