About PIL2005

Although the name does not suggest it, the idea behind PIL2005 was originally conceived in 2003. The plan was to improve the way information is presented to patients taking or intending to take medicines. This aim was further enhanced when new EU legislation came into force in the UK on 1 July 2005, hence PIL2005, to ensure that Pharmaceutical Companies were legally obliged to review the way information is presented to patients.

We strongly welcomed this change in legislation as it went hand-in-hand with our main objective. This now means that the vast majority of medicines on sale are required to be accompanied by a PIL that has passed stringent User Testing. This can only lead to better-informed patients, of which no one can deny is a step in the right direction.

For more details on what a Patient Information Leaflet User Test is, or what the new legislation requires, please visit the FAQs, Volunteer and Links pages.

The PIL2005 team are fully dedicated to producing Patient Information Leaflets that work and strive to achieve this by providing a competitively priced and professional service.
