How are patient perspectives incorporated in a Joint Scientific Consultation?

Patient perspectives will be incorporated during the preparation of a JSC outcome document (Step 3).

It will be the responsibility of the subgroup designated to the JSC to ensure that patients are given an opportunity to provide input during the preparation of the draft document and given an opportunity to participate in a face-to-face or virtual meeting with the HTD. In this meeting patients can exchange views with the HTD, clinical experts, and other relevant experts (Article 18(6-7)).
