My name is Sophie Ripp. I hold a Master’s degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology obtained in Strasbourg (France). After gaining academic experience in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) and customer service experience in Montreal (Canada), I started as a project manager for the ERN-RND network in May 2022. I am in charge of coordinating the organisation between the health care providers, the patient’s representatives and the European Commission. I am excited to be part of the network and to be able to collaborate, share and learn from all the actors of the ERN-RND.

As a former university exchange student myself, I am excited to also manage the Short Exchange Programme of the network.

#ERNcare4Ua survey

Answering to the ERN survey
|
The ERICA WP3 objective is to facilitate in Europe the adoption of Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) and Observer Reported Outcomes (ObsRO) for rare diseases, standardized tools that consider patients and caregivers’ perspective in reporting outcomes and in the process making decision of health assessment.
|
This survey is circulating among ERNs coordinators, ERNs members, ePAGs and Affiliated Partners. It aims to sketch a landscape analysis of available PRO und ObsRO among ERNs.
