Note this is a video recording of an online meeting conducted using the Zoom.us platform. Inevitably such recordings suffer a little in terms of their production values because of the internet connectivity and quality of webcams. Despite that, they allow us to provide additional valuable insights in to the MedComms business and we can involve a wider range of speakers who can participate from the comfort of their own desks, wherever in the world they are.

In this webinar, Tim Hardman (Director, Niche Science and Technology) and Steven Walker (Director, St Gilesmedical) review the key findings from “Working practice survey: Assessing the impact of COVID-19 on current and future patterns”, a survey that ran in July-August 2021. For more than a year we have faced personal disruption and worry, whether that’s juggling childcare and conference calls, working in cramped bedrooms, financial pressures or maintaining remote relationships with family and friends. How have we fared in MedComms? Will lessons learned during the pandemic be translated into new working paradigms? And we answer questions from the audience.

It should be of interest to anyone working in and around MedComms.

Recorded 29 September 2021 as a MedComms Networking webinar. Produced by NetworkPharma.tv
