Massive opportunity to influence health research - beyond the MDReg and beyond devices regulation
Key elements for IPPOSI are that recommendations don’t reflect what is now in (for example) the Clincial Trials Regulation – which commits to include patient engagement throughout the process of development and dissemination of Lay Summaries for adult and paediatric clinical studies.
