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 later in 2022. 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.
