Lasting multi-stakeholder alliances
HPP has considerable experience in conceptualising, setting up and leading multi-stakeholder alliances that aim to drive policy change. Our role includes:
- identifying and recruiting members, establishing terms of reference and setting up a lasting governance structure
- contributing to policy consultations and calls for evidence, collating input from all network members
- acting as an intellectual hub, leading on research activities and developing policy reports and other materials
- leading on all communications, disseminating messages via events, dedicated websites and social media
Examples:
Resources for patient organisations
HPP works with patient organisations to develop resources including patient-facing materials and analyses of patient surveys.
Examples:

Communications and engagement
Most HPP projects include development and delivery of materials to support dissemination and stakeholder engagement, including communications plans, dissemination toolkits, suggested posts and graphical assets for social media.
Examples:
Heart failure guidelines communications toolkit (Heart Failure Policy Network website)

Heart valve disease advocacy materials (Global Heart Hub website)

Infographics
HPP develops engaging infographics to convey key messages in a concise and compelling way. These materials may be associated with larger projects/reports or standalone resources, and are often translated into multiple languages.
Examples:
Online hubs and interactive maps
HPP has developed several best-practice hubs that showcase examples of innovation in a specific area of healthcare and/or policy. The case studies they contain are based on structured literature searches and interviews with the stakeholders involved, giving a real picture of what works on the ground. We can also create interactive maps of ongoing studies or programmes in a given field, and have done so for lung cancer screening.
Examples:
Heart Failure Policy Network Trailblazers Hub

Events
HPP offers an end-to-end service for policy-related events including virtual and in-person round tables, webinars, conference sessions and summits. Our work includes content development, session programming, stakeholder outreach, speaker management, development of all associated materials, and moderating and running sessions.

Videos
HPP produces videos featuring expert vox pops (filmed remotely or in person) to convey key messages on health policy topics, and animations to explain complex issues in an engaging way. Videos are shared at conferences and in presentations, embedded on websites and disseminated via social media.

Conference posters
HPP develops scientific posters for conferences, including liaison with expert co-authors, research, drafting and design. We have exhibited posters at a number of international conferences, both live and virtually.
Examples:

Internal support, training and strategic advice
In addition to public-facing work, HPP has supported several clients with strategic advice across multiple geographies and on a range of topics. We gain a deep understanding of our clients’ needs and use our research-based approach to provide helpful insights and support for our clients to develop feasible and tactical policy engagement strategies and initiatives.
We have also developed training resources and internal toolkits for some of the world’s largest life sciences companies. These resources aim to build knowledge of our clients’ (often cross‐functional) teams on particular topics, and provide them with helpful resources for policymaker/stakeholder engagement in these fields. We have also developed bespoke in-house training programmes, for example on developing effective policy partnerships.
As this type of work is confidential, we are unable to share examples, but for more information please read our case study on Strategy.
