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.

Would a banner ad advertising a PAAB-approved tool (e.g., dosing, AE management) be considered exempt if there is no mention of condition?
Hello @username
It is likely that this would be considered advertising and not subject to the exemption criteria outlined in Section 1.5D of the code which state “Use of a healthcare product name may only be used in a context not linked to therapeutic or promotional messages”. The promotions of advertising tools would be considered a link to promotional messages. When we link advertising to non-advertising, everything becomes advertising.
