European Patient Ambassador Programme (EPAP)

As part of its efforts to involve people with lung diseases in health research and to provide access to clear, reliable, and trustworthy information on lung health and disease, the DZL, in close cooperation with the European Lung Foundation (ELF), supported the publication of the German version of the internationally recognized European Patient Ambassador Programme (EPAP).

This free online course is designed for patients, family members, and caregivers. It helps participants build their skills in accessing health information and engaging with healthcare professionals, policymakers, researchers, and the media.

The programme is suitable for people with any condition and is now available in German, alongside many other languages.
