Greetings!

If you like to keep up to date with the latest developments in Medical Information & Affairs, you need to know what going on at the European DIA Medical Information & Communications conference next week. As one of the programme committee, headed by our leader Janet Davies, I know we've picked the best in Med Info today!

So keep your eye on the blog later this week for great content, ideas and ongoing projects in every type of pharma company, big or small. More frequent updates will be on my Facebook page.

On Tuesday, I'm chairing the Internal Audit session, featuring Peter Nacke, Vifor giving us an overview on audits, then I'm giving a short talk on external auditors & Medical Information. But most of the session will be a facilitated workshop.
