Well, the EMWA conference is all over now, and I am safely back in London, having cunningly dodged the ash cloud by a rather small margin on both my outward and return journeys. The final day of the conference began with a plenary lecture about the importance of compliance with promotional codes, such as that by the ABPI, when writing materials that could be used for promotional purposes.  One of the great challenges in this area is that codes are … Continue reading →

It’s been a busy day at the EMWA conference today (well, technically yesterday now) without a spare 5 minutes to update the blog until now. The day began at 8 am with a plenary lecture on knowledge and information management. Some good hints and tips there, especially for the knowledge management wiki that we’ve recently set up at Dianthus. Then for the rest of the morning I sat in on Victoria Cairns’s workshop “statistical thinking for medical writers”. I’ll shortly … Continue reading →

Day 2 at the EMWA conference has been considerably less busy for me than yesterday. My only engagement today was attending a short seminar this morning on Web 2.0 for medical writers. Plenty to think about, with tools such as blogging, social networking, and Twitter becoming ever more a part of our lives (well, you’re reading this blog, aren’t you?) The relatively quiet day has allowed me to write an article for the next issue of EMWA’s journal, The Write … Continue reading →

I write this from the EMWA conference in Lisbon, as the serious business of the first day has drawn to a close. I was relieved that all the Dianthus team made it to Lisbon despite the disruption from the ash cloud, even though the other members of the team had a hideous journey and got here far later than scheduled. Still at least they got here. It was my privilege to speak at the opening session of the conference last … Continue reading →

We (Adam, Debbie, Nancy, and Alice) will be going to the EMWA conference in Lisbon on 11-15 May. We are looking forward to catching up with many old friends and making some new ones. Adam will be presenting his workshop on statistical analysis of binary data, as well as short seminars on XML for medical writers and CDISC. We’re just hoping that the ash cloud is a long way away and doesn’t mess up our travel plans.
