How emc regulatory supports Pharma
An intuitive submission platform to simplify your internal processes
Research shows that HCPs trust an unbiased source of information over commercial channels. To ensure that your medicine safety information is made available to as many HCPs and patients as possible, it is essential to publish this on a renowned and trusted platform.
emc is an open-access website for UK HCPs and patients; because all content has been approved by a medicine regulator, they can rely on its quality. Using emc regulatory's publishing platform, you can efficiently manage and submit your medicine safety information on emc in a range of formats, and with a quick turnaround from our dedicated Quality Control (QC) team.
An accessibility service for delivering your medicine safety information
For Pharma companies to comply with the law, patient information must be available on request in accessible formats such as braille, large print, audio and video.
emc regulatory covers the distribution of your Patient Information Leaflet in all these accessible formats. It not only ensures that Pharma fulfils regulatory requirements, but also shows due care to look after and engage with your end users.
emc also has full support for ePILs (electronic Patient Information Leaflets). This digital format greatly improves accessibility on a range of devices, making it easier to navigate, read and engage with.
