WHAT'S HAPPENING - [view previous events]

I'm doing things a little differently now, as we head towards the end of an "interesting" year for many of us in #MedComms. There will be some ad hoc #MedComms webinars, I'll support a number of third party activities in different ways and, of course, I'll continue my online chatter about #MedComms. Join the conversation on LinkedIn and share your news as we all prepare for 2025! Scroll down for details of upcoming activities. Meantime, you can see reports of all the previous meetings here.
