Research efforts within the Centre for Pharmaceutical Medicine Research, King’s College London, are advancing patient engagement in medicine development and communications through evidence generation. This article presents the ongoing work of two doctoral researchers within the department, whose joint efforts aim to contribute to the evidence base on the integration of meaningful and sustainable patient engagement and involvement across the medicine development life-cycle and within peer-reviewed publications. These works have so far included a systematic literature review as well as qualitative interview-based analyses of both the perceived value of patient engagement across stake- holders and the landscape of patient involvement practices within peer-reviewed publications. Together, these research themes share foundational values, activities, and aspirations that this article explores within a framework of patients communicating to industry, industry communicating to patients, and patients and industry communicating with each other.
