This report by the Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM) Working Group on Patient Information focuses on three main issues: to advise on strategies to improve the quality of information provided with medicines within the regulatory environment to meet patients needs; to propose criteria to assess and monitor the quality of patient information to ensure the safe and appropriate use of medicines; and to advise on key cases which could impact significantly on public health and which will set standards for other products. A number of recommendations are made in relation to the following issues: patient involvement; the quality of patient information leaflets (PILs); risk communication; accessibility of information about medicine taking; regulatory needs; patients needs; public awareness aspects; and impact assessment.
