March issue of Medical Writing

We apologise to EMWA members for the delay in publication of the March issue of Medical Writing. Production of the first issue has taken longer than anticipated as we are keen to ensure that the end result is pleasing and of the highest possible quality. We are working hard to iron out the editorial processes and formatting of the first issue and to get everything right first time around. The March issue of Medical Writing will be available for viewing at EMWA’s 34th Conference in Cyprus. There will be a knock-on effect for the June issue, which we anticipate will be published by August, but it should be possible to catch-up and meet the publication deadlines for the following issues.

Currently offline - back soon!

EMWA Workshop and Workshop Leader Database now launched

The EMWA Professional Development Programme (EPDP) overall is much bigger and is growing rapidly, so only a selection of workshops can be held at any EMWA conference. Currently over 100 workshops presented by 70 workshop leaders make up EPDP. The EPDP brochure, issued once yearly, lists out the workshop topics in the 5 EPDP options (Drug Development, Language and Writing, Medical Communications, Medical Science and Soft Skills) each at foundation and advanced levels. Now it is possible to browse the abstracts of all EPDP workshops in the programme and see the personal summaries of all workshop leaders online.
