Real-world evidence that matters

Real-world evidence that matters: a hands-on workshop in building credible value stories

Date: 10 September

Time: 11:15–12:00

Location: Grand Liberty Ballroom

Speaker: Mandi Walters

Explore how to turn complex real-world data into compelling narratives that influence decisions and improve access in rare disease treatments:

  • Understanding real-world evidence (RWE) – How RWE is collected, validated, and applied in rare disease contexts to complement clinical trial data
  • Building credible value stories – Practical guidance on translating RWE into persuasive narratives that resonate with payers, regulators, clinicians, and patient advocates
  • Collaborative approaches – Featuring perspectives from BIO and Sciensus — see how industry, patient groups, and healthcare providers align on evidence needs
  • Hands-on application – Participate in interactive exercises using real-world case studies to construct and refine value stories

Leave with practical tools and strategies to transform real-world evidence into credible value stories that support stakeholder engagement and access to rare disease treatments.
