MedComms Networking is a not-for-profit initiative building on the work of Peter Llewellyn which seeks to unite individuals and organisations involved in delivering health information. We will do this by listening and by delivering a weekly newsletter and regular online and in-person events. Our group welcomes writers, scientists, editors, educators, project managers, filmmakers, medical journalists, healthcare professionals, researchers, academics, and patient advocates from around the world to join us. The aim is to inform, educate and advance our profession and, ultimately, support patient care.

Please sign up to receive our Newsletter and information about future events.

WHAT'S HAPPENING - [view previous events]

Over the last 18 years many of us have been inspired and informed by MedComms Networking's regular newsletters, webinars, and events. It has served to engage, educate, and collectively advance our profession. We are excited to have been invited by Peter to carry on his work. Our stewardship starts in March. We plan to publish the weekly Newsletter and initiate online and face-to-face events. There will be additional resources and activities as we move forward. Our hope is that the community we serve will expand to reflect the diverse groups who contribute globally to delivering health information. Though we are supporting MedCommsNetworking on a not-for-profit basis, this is your platform. We welcome your ideas, news items, short non-promotional articles and offers to host events. Do please reach out by email or pick up the phone. We would love to hear from you. Tim Hardman and Steven Walker
