This just in from Ruth Hadfield, Freelance medical writer & research consultant and membership secretary of the Australasian Medical Writers Association, with an invite to Melbourne in August.

It is winter here so I am sitting in my office with the heating on full, my Ugg boots on and cradling a warm cup of coffee.

My number one task today is to spend some time finding sponsorship for the forthcoming Australasian Medical Writers (AMWA) Conference. This year’s theme is Integrity in a Post-Truth World and the conference is being held in Melbourne, Australia on 23-25 August. The AMWA conference committee have put together a fabulous program and AMWA president Michelle Guillemard has done a truly wonderful job leading this. As a not-for-profit and volunteer run organisation we need sponsorship to make sure this event can be held annually. AMWA would love to see as many MedComms professionals at the conference as possible so please consider this your invitation.

Today is a day of tidying up loose ends after many weeks of back to back jobs. Next up on my task list are preparing some quotes, website updates and responding to emails.

I will enjoy watching the rest of the world wake up and hearing about what you are all are doing this MedComms day!
