EMWA Webinars Programme 2015
The European Medical Writers Association (EMWA) is happy to announce our 2015 series of webinars for medical writers to gain professional development skills and hear about the latest initiatives in the medical writing world.
To participate, you only need to register and then connect to our webinars platform on the due date. A recording will be available shortly after the event in the Archive section of this page. Nevertheless, we advise you to participate as this will enable you to pose questions and contribute to an active discussion. Email pr@emwa.org with any questions or accessibility concerns.
Note: whereas every effort has been made to ensure an appropriate Internet connection to run EMWA webinars, it is not possible to provide a 100% stable connection. If for any reason, the presentation is required to be cancelled by the organizer, a notification email will be sent as soon as possible.

Quality by Design in Clinical Trial Protocol Writing This webinar discusses how medical writers can contribute to clinical research quality by including quality definition and objective setting in the design stages. Using the ‘fit for purpose’ definition of quality used by, among others, the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative, the protocol can play a fundamental role in prioritizing the data needed to answer a research question and planning the quality goals that are appropriate. Designing quality into the clinical trial can also contribute to reducing the burden of research on patients and investigators (and the cost generally) by focusing on the procedures and factors that are critical to quality and reducing the amount of unused data that are collected.
