This global initiative facilitates networking and dialogue amongst individuals working in and around the pharmaceutical industry and MedComms, focusing on specialist medical education, medical communications and medical publishing activities. Why not sign up to our weekly newsletter and please, help spread the word amongst all relevant others.
The aim is to host a regular small meeting with 2-4 speakers presenting on various topics of direct relevance to MedComms. Importantly the presentations will be filmed for webcasting for free access by the global community afterwards. Topics will be announced in advance but we believe we can guarantee a useful educational and networking session every time. So make a note of the dates now. It's the first Wednesday of every month (except when it isn't!).
