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.

MEDCOMMS FORUM - 16 DECEMBER 2020
MedComms Forum
To round off a crazy year, we ran a final end of year #MedComms educational forum with Christmas quiz, mince pies and networking. We ran it as a Zoom meeting.
The programme for this meeting was organised by Tim Hardman of Niche Science and Technology and Steven Walker of St Gilesmedical London and Berlin.
Full WEBCAST
Background:
The ongoing pandemic and move to homeworking has been a challenge for companies and staff. The recent MedComms survey of 758 respondents (presented 17 June 2020) suggested that while many employees welcomed the change, others struggled with isolation, lack of support and strained finances.
Programme:
14:00-14:50 During the first half of our educational forum we explored the contradictions of home working and seek the experiences of a range of stakeholders.
Break for 10 minutes
15:00-15:50 The second part of our programme looks at how we can improve homeworking. Issues addressed include room ergonomics, health and safety, good mental health, finances, human resources and contracts, mutual support, maintaining company ethos and socialising on line.
Break for 10 minutes
The afternoon ended with a Christmas quiz and prizes, plus networking breakout rooms to chat and socialise.
