AMEND’s European Work

AMEND represents patients' voices within 2 European Reference Networks (ERNs) that aim to improve access to expert care throughout member states.  The two ERNs, ENDO-ERN and EURACAN, cover all the diseases and disorders that AMEND covers, as well as a few additional rare diseases.  All this is at risk thanks to Brexit.
