Patient initiatives

Every patient’s and carer’s experience is unique, and every story matters.
Here, you can explore the initiatives that

  • bring the community of people affected by allergic rhinitis together,
  • highlight patient voices,
  • and shine a light on what it means to live or care for someone with this disease.

Be inspired by the journeys, ideas, and efforts of patients and carers shaping the conversation around allergies every day.

Your voice matters!

World allergy week

The World Allergy Organization (WAO) hosts World Allergy Week, an annual global campagin to raise awareness about allergies and their impact. The theme of World Allergy Week 2026 (21-27 June) is “Allergy Care is Essential Care”.

Patient Advisory Board

At EUFOREA, one of our key goals is to bring stakeholders together, and our Patient Advisory Board is a great example of this mission in action.
With quarterly meetings, the Advisory Board brings patients together to discuss the latest trends in allergic rhinitis and other airway diseases. It’s not just about connecting with others who understand what you’re going through—it’s also about making a real difference in care. In fact, this very Patient Portal you’re using is one of the outcomes of these discussions!
The Advisory Board focuses on unmet needs and how allergic rhinitis affects daily life, ensuring patient voices are at the center of improving care and support. By working together, we’re driving meaningful change for the entire community of people affected by allergies and other airway diseases.
