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.

IN-PERSON #MEDCOMMS FORUM - 17 JULY 2024

Compliance, Regulatory Challenges and Event Innovation A large and lively audience from across the MedComms community convened in-person at Alderley Park in the UK for insightful discussion and valuable networking opportunities. Date: 17 July 2024 Venue: Mereside Atrium, Alderley Park, Congleton Road, Nether Alderley, Macclesfield, SK10 4TG MedComms Forum Timing: 15:00 Registration, refreshments and networking 15.30 Formal Session - largely Q&A, discussion-based Increasingly innovative ways to communicate and distribute information around live events, including pre- and post-event materials, can trigger additional challenges from pharmaceutical regulatory frameworks. How can agencies involved in events best assess and meet these challenges in differing areas of responsibility, such as Logistics, Materials and Digital production, Scientific content, On-line accessibility restrictions? Any live event has at its core fixed dates when things need to happen. Yet time scales for approval processes vary greatly. A comprehensive knowledge of compliance requirements and anticipation of their time scales for sign off are vital if delivery is to be stress free and successful. And where any innovative communication concepts are proposed informed anticipation of any regulatory issues is necessary.
