Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Third-Party Unbranded Patient App - Communications

Would a leaflet that explains the benefits of a third party developed patient app being disseminated to patients via a branded PSP require PAAB review? The leaflet would not mention the specific PSP or brand. It would only discuss the app. The app itself was reviewed as part of a branded patient brochure under 'addition lifestyle resources' and was deemed acceptable by PAAB.

Hey @danielle
If the leaflet was produced by the third party developed patient app, and there were no implications for outcomes which could be associated to the brand, it would likely not require PAAB review. As an example, an independent third-party medication reminder and adherence tracker's promotional leaflet which spoke to the features of the app would likely be exempt. If that leaflet contained outcomes that could be expected, improved etc. as a result of proper adherence, this would likely not be exempt. PAAB can provide an opinion through the opinion service if you’re not sure if the leaflet would fall into this category.
