Patients need good information to help them make choices about medicines and maximise their safe use. Patient leaflets and educational materials play a key role – but the need for improvement of their content and distribution has been identified. Key stakeholders will outline the issues and possible solutions prior to a panel and audience discussion.
Learning Objective : 1. Describe the shortcomings of patient leaflets as currently produced. 2. Understand how the shortcomings can be overcome. 3. Produce patient leaflets which are fit-for-purpose.
