Greetings!
Phew! It was a non-stop 4 days at the 5th Annual European DIA Medical Information & Communications conference last week. As a programme committee member, I probably shouldn't say this but we had such great topics & lot of opportunities to share experiences.
If you couldn't go, here's some of my thoughts on the several sessions we had on Globalisation.
We also had talks on Social Media in Medical Information (the e-patient from Paul Grant, Creation Healthcare and Viv Ball, Janssen on moderating their Facebook page on Psoriasis). The final plenary session was on Social Media and the Pharma Industry with the legendary Alex Butler (ex-Janssen and now founder of The Social Moon); Paul Grant inspiring us with his presentation and a patient/carers perspective of social media from Dr Myriam Menter, President, ADHD Europe.

Peter Nacke, Vifor & I gave a high octane session on Internal Audit. Loved working with you, Peter! High octane because everyone gave shared their experiences and ideas during the workshop part of the session. Someone told me they didn't realise audit could be fun! So, my task for next week - write up the outputs!!!! Here's a taster with the flipchart from the Audit Follow Up team.
And finally, did you know the new EU proposals on Information to Patients are out? I've shared my first reactions. I hope you enjoy reading the brief synopses and links through to the fuller blog posts.
Have fun!
Sharon
