MedComms Networking - 01 June 2021
Hi
Last week's webinar provided food for thought, hopefully. If you missed it, watch the recording here. We talked again about extending the reach of medical publications and digital enhancements in practice. And I tried to get at some real-life experiences with specialist medical writers and publications planners Patricia Fonseca, Sarah Feeny, and Kelly Schrank. Are we really doing as much as we say? Are we still just talking about what might be possible? Can we easily make more of the opportunities out there? Publishers? Clients? Authors? Agencies?
It was another example of a recording that some of you might usefully use as the basis of your own lunch and learn or similar training activity. Stream the free video, then talk amongst yourselves about the points raised. Maybe you'll agree or maybe you'll disagree with the panellists. Maybe you'll think "hmm, I hadn't thought about that". Maybe you'll find yourself shouting at the screen! I'm sure some publishers watching last week might well have done so. But these informal chats about relevant, practical topics should at least provoke discussion and might help us all think a little more about what we do and how we do it.
Tomorrow's objective is different. In making the leap from agency-side to client-side in MedComms I'll talk with Ash Dunne (Associate Director Global Medical Communication, Merck KGaA), Lucy Hyatt (Director, Medical Affairs, Regional Scientific Content, MSD International) and Emma Leah (Global Medical Publications and Communications Manager, Ipsen) about their personal journeys. And what do they wish they'd previously known when they worked in agency land?
If you can't join us live, recordings are posted at NetworkPharma.tv and in the MedComms YouTube channel. Feedback always welcomed.
Next week, of course, we'll be Celebrating a Day in the life of #MedComms on Wednesday 9 June. I might have mentioned it once or twice recently. I'm guessing it will be bonkers again. But it depends on you. All of you. Wherever in the world you are, next week, please join in.
