Danish Patients is a prominent umbrella organization in Denmark, representing 102 patients and relatives associations, totaling 900,000 individual members. As a political organization, Danish Patients advocates for the best possible conditions for patients and their families within the Danish healthcare system. The organization works collaboratively with authorities, research institutions, and healthcare organizations to promote patient-centered care.

They place a strong emphasis on user involvement, quality improvement, and measurement, ensuring the rights of relatives, enhancing patient safety, and improving continuity of care. To accomplish their mission, Danish Patients has established the Knowledge Center for User Involvement (ViBIS), which gathers and shares international knowledge to facilitate user involvement in healthcare decision-making. Evidence shows that involving patients in their healthcare journey improves the quality of care, patient safety, and patients' understanding of their health and treatment.
