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.

MEET THE JOURNAL PUBLISHERS - 15 DECEMBER 2010 - OXFORD

A small but enthusiastic group who had braved the weather and travel conditions, and who had been able to avoid sickness, Christmas parties and school nativities, came to hear directly from the publishers about their journals, their unique working practices and their plans for the coming year. There were plenty of samples, lots of expertise and plenty of lively discussion in the room on the day. A larger audience were able to participate in the panel session by tuning in from around the world via UStream.
