SIP Advocacy Toolkit Training in Denmark – Report from the Event
The Societal Impact of Pain (SIP) platform is pleased to share updates from the Advocacy Toolkit in Denmark, held on 17 September 2026 in Copenhagen.
The training aimed to strengthen awareness of pain and support the development of more coordinated and effective pain policies across Europe.
Designed as a practical, step-by-step resource, the training supports both emerging SIP National Platforms and established networks in structuring and aligning their national advocacy efforts with SIP at the European level.
In the Danish context, the session built on the country’s strong advocacy foundation and recognised existing legislative and clinical efforts, such as the Danish Ministry of Health’s pain strategy and the Danish Health Authority’s cross-sectoral care recommendations, which prioritise early assessment, patient involvement, and coordinated care pathways. At the same time, the training helped position SIP as a structured way to connect national advocacy work with the wider European SIP framework, by offering tools, clearer coordination between actors, and continued support from the European level.
The meeting brought together a broad range of stakeholders from clinical governance, academia, patient organisations, public administration, and professional associations, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of pain advocacy.
We would like to thank all participants for joining us and look forward to the next steps and further developments following this meeting.
