Report of the Committee on Safety of Medicines Working Group on Patient Information
The first report of the Working Group on Patient Information will lead to improved quality of patient information leaflets (PILs). Patients will now be involved in the design of leaflets in accordance with new EU legislation and key information will be included in headlines at the start of the PIL.
