What if?
What if we were able to share information with the power to revolutionise the current rare disease landscape? What if we could provide solutions to patients now, answering their pressing questions about their disease, care, and treatment? What if we could ensure that patients and advocates played an equal and vital role in the development of drugs, assistive technologies, and healthcare? Rare disease patients and their families are tired of waiting for answers and the slow pace of change. They want to be involved and share their lived experiences to help companies, researchers and healthcare professionals find answers and solutions. Hear from,  learn from and engage in cross-sector activities with a range of stakeholders: patients; patient advocacy groups; researchers; health care professionals and companies who are leading the way in pioneering partnerships to accelerate change.
Join us at the Wellcome Genome Campus: a hub of life-changing science. We think it's the perfect venue to make progress for rare diseases.
 
THE HACKATHON CHALLENGE
The day will culminate in a  ‘hackathon’ activity.  So what's a hackathon? In a nutshell, cross-sector delegate teams will work together to explore what matters to you and what matters the most. "We need a national debate on rare diseases to offer the best possible care". Cambridge Rare Disease Network welcomes Baroness <A CLASS="tap-target feed-shared-text-view__mention ember-view" HREF="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAABmRFPQBXmil03THgG7FJuZWQodcfIXSu5E/" TARGET="_self" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Nicola Blackwood</A> to deliver a speech to usher in our cross-sector hackathon "What matters to you. What matters most?" The minister, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department of Health and Social Care, recently said "I want to lead a national conversation on rare diseases, and how we care better for people. We want to talk to staff, patients, experts and researchers...to capture views on the big strategic issues that affect you." At RAREsumit hackathon we'll be giving delegates the opportunity, in cross-sector teams, to 'identify common themes and proposals to help develop the vision for a post-2020 rare disease framework'. Your thoughts and priorities will be shared with the Minister as a report following. Will you be there to have your say?
Selected teams will have the opportunity to pitch their idea on stage.  We aim for delegates to be inspired to develop this cross-sector approach with patients as equal and vital partners.

NETWORKING and COLLABORATION
During an extended lunch, delegates enjoy networking and browsing charity, healthcare and company stands and a patient journey poster exhibition. For our summit 2017, 52 patient journey posters were created by various rare disease patient groups and individuals. Some of these will be displayed along with a new collection. 
The day will close with a complimentary drinks and canapes reception where delegates can enjoy networking, reflecting on their day and developing partnerships for the future.
