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.

    Hello @dmauri PAAB practice has been to accept communications from formulary bodies to the manufacturer which confirm listing and criteria in the absence of published coverage criteria. In the absence of these letters, we have accepted an attestation from the sponsor that confirms the EAP listing and that the government/ministry has no objection to the marketing of this criteria. The client can proceed with submitting pieces which communicate the listing and criteria.
