For EULAR, it is essential that the dissemination of the lay versions of the recommendations reach patient organisations, as well as healthcare professionals to support patients and carers in managing their disease.

For recommendations that are relevant to patient audiences, EULAR provides a lay summary version, in English, and calls on all interested organisations to disseminate them and encourage the translation of these lay versions into their own language. Note that the lay summaries are created after the official recommendation is published.
