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.
321 - A patient information brochure will NOT mention the product but will bear the name of the manufacturer. It will be distributed by the rep to the requesting health care professionals. Will this still need PAAB review?
-
A patient piece generated by the manufacturer or its agent requires PAAB review unless both of the following conditions are met: there is no discussion of drug therapy (by product, class, or category) there is no discussion of drug issues (e.g. adherence to medication, potential implications of product ingredients…etc )
