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.

EVENING NETWORKING EVENT - 7 MAY 2013 - MANCHESTER

Better communication means better patient outcomes: vision or illusion? This was our first joint meeting run together with the European Medical Writers Association (EMWA) and took place on the eve of the 36th EMWA Conference. A large audience participated in an excellent and very engaging Q&A session with an expert panel led by Mark Duman, Chair of the Patient Information Forum (PiF). Everyone got a lot out of the event and hopefully we can look forward to more such combined meetings with EMWA in the future when opportunity allows. The Panel session was introduced and led by Mark Duman, Director MD Healthcare Consultants and Chair Patient Information Forum (PiF) [DOWNLOAD MARK'S PRESENTATION - PDF] The Panellists: Ben Bridgewater (Consultant Cardiac Surgeon, University Hospital of South Manchester), Jane Lamprill (Specialist in medical writing for children, parents and patients), Eveline Wesby-van Swaay (Global Safety Physician, AstraZeneca) and Paul Woods (Compliance and Ethics consultant, ex-AstraZeneca and previous Chair of the EFPIA Information to Patients Task Force) Date: 7 May 2013 Venue: Manchester Central Convention Complex, Petersfield, M2 3GX [DIRECTIONS] To make sure you're included in announcements about future events just email Peter Llewellyn, if you haven't already done so, to register your interest.
