Healthcare companies continually strive to communicate important information about their drugs and devices to diverse audiences comprised of patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and the general public. The use of plain language written communication can help ensure key health information and clinical research findings are understandable and accessible to all.
But you might wonder “Isn’t plain language intended only for patient and caregiver consumption? HCPs want factual, scientifically rigorous content, not the simplified messaging of plain language writing.” The answer is…. not always. The deliberate and targeted incorporation of plain language content into selected HCP communication channels can be an effective tool in in your omnichannel communication plan.

In the second presentation of our Deep-Dive: Plain Language Writing webinar series, we will focus on best practices that guide the development of common forms of plain language communication intended for the patient, their families and/or caregivers, such as the:
• Patient section of an EU MDR-compliant Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP) for all Class III and Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMD)
• Plain Language Summary (PLS) of a published journal article
• Lay summaries required under EU CTR for clinical trials on medicinal products
Learning Objectives
