  REQUEST FOR QUOTES:

 
Medical writers needed to quote and undertake PIL readability testings 

  Since 2005, it is an official requirement of the EMA (European Medicines 
  Agency) to
test the readability of Package Leaflets for all the medicinal
  products in consultation with end-users. 

  Package Leaflets (PLs) are part of the Product Information which the
  pharmaceutical companies are required to provide to the EMA for
  marketing authorization applications. The Package Leaflet is the leaflet
  that end-users, i.e. patients and care-givers, will receive when obtaining
  the medicine.

  The importance of Readability Testing of PLs lies in the fact that the
  end-users must use the medicine correctly for it to be effective; thus, it
  is quintessential that they understand the content of the leaflet and act
  in accordance with it.


  Medical writers experienced in PIL readability testing  for PILs written in
  English needed as follows:


·         1 medical writer or language lead with excellent knowledge of Product Information and
       EMA requirements to optimize the source file and to help composing the questionnaire
·
         1 medical/scientific writer experienced in describing studies and results to compose
       the report on Readability Testing

·         1 interviewer to test 25 subjects 

 Tasks involve:
  - Pilot test/interview, with asking 5 subjects:  
                  
Score (1-2-3-4-NF-NU):               ..............................
          
Information found:                                   Yes / No 
           Information understood:                        Yes / No 
          
Acting appropriately:                               Yes / No   
          
Help question asked:                               Yes / No     
          
What did the participant say:           
          
Remarks/notes:
  - Optimization of source file
  - Creation of report describing source file, questionnaire, test set-up,
    subjects, findings of pilot test and optimizations to source text.
  - First test/interview with 10 subjects
  - Optimization of source file
  - Update of report with findings and optimizations of first test
  - Second test/interview with 10 subjects
  - Optimization of source file
  - Update of report with findings and optimizations of second test

  Resources involved
        25 subjects: potential patients, representatives from patient organizations.
