We co-created our Toolkit at the PLS of Publications Workshop, which was held in London in November 2018 with support from Patient Focused Medicines
Development (PFMD).

The workshop brought patients, publishers, pharma, and publication professionals together to discuss the benefits, opportunities, and challenges of PLS.

Evidence-based resources from credible sources
should be easy to access and free for the people who
need it. It is about time! Congratulations to all those
involved in making this happen.
