Envision Pharma Group have launched a Plain Language Summaries (PLS) of Publications Toolkit, co-created at the ‘Plain Language Summaries of Publications Workshop’ 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 Plain Language Summaries.

The toolkit is intended to help others confidently and compliantly create Plain Language Summaries of peer-reviewed publications and conference/congress abstracts. It is free to download, use (CC BY 4.0), and customise for your organisation – all that you need to do is to acknowledge Envision Pharma Group.
