TOPRA has published a UK ePI Task Force evidence review on the use of ePILs in their international journal, Regulatory Rapporteur.

TOPRA has published a UK ePI Task Force evidence review on the use of electronic Patient information leaflets (ePILs).

The UK ePI Task Force is a cross-industry initiative led by PAGB, the consumer healthcare association, ABPI and BGMA. The purpose is to facilitate a move to user-centered, digital-first medicines information in the UK, that is inclusive and accessible for all, better for patients and the environment.

The evidence review has been published in TOPRA’s Regulatory Rapporteur, the international journal for professionals in regulatory affairs, and was co-authored by Marie Woe, Kathryn Sharpe and Erika Aparicio on behalf of the UK ePI Task Force.

It collates existing data with a focus on how patients and healthcare professionals currently access patient information leaflets (PILs) and healthcare information globally, and the challenge and opportunities of the transition from paper PILs to ePILs in the UK.
