Event Overview:

Understanding the person behind the patient is critical for all medical communicators. Writing for different audiences in the clinical trial landscape—whilst also ensuring readability and that messaging is inclusive and respectful—can be a minefield for even the most experienced wordsmith. Add in patient co-authors on publications and a patient expert review of plain language summaries and the audience widens exponentially.

In this webinar, experts provide an overview of how to craft inclusive content, gather and apply patient insights, and include real-experience voices from patients, caregivers, and communities in communications and materials. This strategy forms the cornerstone for success in inclusive patient communications.
