Seeking to increase accessibility and patient centricity, GSK started developing plain language summaries of manuscripts and posters in 2018, testing different approaches and formats over time. A guidance to align PLS practices across the organization is under development. Key questions guiding the development of PLS at GSK are:

• What is the intent?
• Who is the target audience?
• What is the appropriate content?
• What format is best to maximize impact?
