We are
Envision
the Patient

We are dedicated to substantial and ethical
patient involvement across the medicines
development lifecycle. Through our services,
research, and practical tools, we support
clients and patient partners to work together.

At the moment, this website is dedicated to providing resources and information on Plain Language Summaries. We are evolving the website and a brand new site will be coming soon. It will provide more details on the range of patient engagement projects that we support and collaborate on with our clients and patient partners. In the meantime, for more details on patient authorship resources, please visit the patient authorship site.
