Toolbox

The Toolbox is organised in two main areas: Medicines R&D and Patient Engagement. You can also search by category or keyword. At the next stage you can also refine the search by "tags" (sub-categories). Key introductory topics are highlighted to help you begin to explore medicines research and development as well as patient engagement. Key concepts in the articles are linked to the Glossary for definitions.

Guidance on Patient Involvement

Patient organisations, academia, not-for-profit organizations, and pharmaceutical companies, HTA and regulatory bodies are represented in the EUPATI partnership. Together, through reviews and a process of public consultation, sets of policies and standards for patient's involvement in medicines research and development have been published. These guidance should be used in relevant stakeholder communities and will contribute to the development of internal operating procedures in organizations and companies.
