WHAT'S HAPPENING - [view previous events]

MedComms Networking has evolved from what was largely UK-based activity but now embraces a global community of medical communications specialists, and we welcome participation by anyone working in or around MedComms and the global Pharma industry, anywhere in the world. I am particularly keen to see the development of activities led by other individuals and specifically based in other regions so if you would like to act as a local organiser for - or you would like to provide funding for - such events please contact me directly. I'm always happy to chat and all feedback is welcome, so give me a shout anytime or please post your thoughts to the MedComms Networking Linkedin group for discussion.

WEEKLY #MEDCOMMS WEBINAR HEOR Writing: The Ins and Outs of Value Communications Venue: Global Date: 12.00 midday-13.00 UK time, Wednesday 01 February 2023 In this webinar we'll be joined by Beth Lesher and Larry Radican of OPEN Health who believe that HEOR writing is a unique skill set that combines skills and competencies in both writing and HEOR. The field of HEOR comprises many different methodologies - primary data collection studies such as surveys and registries, secondary data studies such as electronic medical records and claims database studies, and economic modeling and other special types of analyses like discrete choice experiments, predictive modeling, and indirect treatment comparisons. The world of HEOR has incredible breadth and depth and, therefore, so must our writing. We will discuss the ins and outs of effective HEOR writing, how to create compelling narratives on unmet need and product value that resonate with readers, as well as the key questions we should always ask ourselves when beginning a new HEOR writing project. And we answer questions from the audience. [PROGRAMME AND REGISTRATION DETAILS]
