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.

This is a valuable opportunity to hear directly from the publishers about their journals, their unique working practices and their plans for the coming year. A lively panel discusses current developments and future trends in publishing. On our panel we have Caroline Halford (Digital Publishing Manager at Springer Healthcare), Hamish McDougall (Publishing Solutions Manager at SAGE Publishing), Jonathan Patience (Head of Commissioning at Taylor and Francis) and Joanne Walker (Head of Publishing Solutions at Future Science Group). And we answer questions from the audience.

It should be of interest to anyone working in and around MedComms – or wanting to do so.

Recorded 08 December 2021 as a MedComms Networking webinar. Produced by NetworkPharma.tv
