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.

BRUNCH CLUB - 7 SEPTEMBER 2016 - OXFORD

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!). Scroll down for copies of the presentation slides and the full webcasts. Date: 7 September 2016 Venue: Magdalen Centre, The Oxford Science Park, Robert Robinson Avenue, Oxford OX4 4GE [DIRECTIONS] Timing: 10.00 Registration and coffee 10.30 Formal session Medical education - we do the medical bit, but what about the education part? Medical communications is not just about scientific accuracy and marketing strategy, nor is Continuing Medical Education (CME) just about "independence" and accreditation. Both sides look to develop education for healthcare professionals that is well designed and effective. In this Brunch Club we will work with European CME Forum to address some key challenges faced by everyone today. All the Speakers are members of the Good CME Practice Group.
