Why?
It’s estimated that 1 in 17 people will develop a rare condition at some point in their lifetime – that’s around 3.5 million in the UK alone, and over 350 million worldwide.
The journey with a rare or undiagnosed condition is complex, uncertain and isolating, with only 5% having an approved treatment.
People frequently experience delayed diagnosis, fragmented care, and difficulty accessing appropriate support.
What?
CamRARE centres people with rare conditions at the heart of everything we do.
CamRARE works to connect individuals, healthcare professional, researchers, industry and policy makers to turn collaboration into action and improve the lives of people affected by rare condition.

RAREsummit26
Join us on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at Hinxton Hall Conference Centre
A flagship CamRARE event gathering 300 great minds in rare diseases to make connections, exchange ideas and openly debate possibilities.
I wanted to thank you wholeheartedly for your brilliant partnership ethos, for organising hugely informative and engaging events to move the rare disease thinking and research forward, and creating the soil in which productive collaborative relationships can grow and flourish.
Grazina Berry • CEO, Aplastic Anaemia Trust
Unique Feet helped me to realise I don't have to be strong all of the time and that I can be human, it's alright. People are doing that face to seem strong but they're crumbling inside, and you realise you should reach out more.
Sue • member of Unique Feet community group
We're starting a new international scientific collaboration, which has evolved from discussions with companies following your CamRARE RAREsummit last year and also involves another company following CamRARE's invite for me to present at your Companies Forum - so your events have a HUGE amount of value to us!”
Allison Watson • Co-Founder, Ring 20 Research and Support
That was such an amazing event. So well organised. So much varied content. Really, really gripping, moving, exciting, inspiring, colourful, insightful ... and a million other thoughts and feelings throughout the day!
