On 10 Nov, Sarah Choudhury (EMWA Treasurer) along with Ricardo Milho (EMWA Sponsorship Officer) and Arunon Sivananthan (EMWA member) represented EMWA at the NetworkPharma Medcomms Career Event (“Working in and around #MedComms”) that took place at the Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre in London Heathrow.

The event was very well attended with around 500 participants, including employers from Medcomms and Regulatory Writing agencies, and newcomers with diverse backgrounds interested in starting a career in Medical Writing.
Sarah, Ricardo, and Arunon manned an exhibitor table at the event and were extremely busy answering many questions about training for medical writers and the benefits of joining EMWA. They demonstrated the resources on the EMWA website and provided promotional information and copies of the EMWA Journal Medical Writing.

Sarah also hosted a discussion panel in the afternoon entitled "Meet the Regulatory Writers", with 3 other writers from Regulatory Writing agencies who shared their career journeys and talked about what it is like to work in regulatory writing. Overall, it was a very successful day and we look forward to further collaboration with Peter Llewellyn and NetworkPharma in the future.

This event was supported by the Ambassador Programme led by Abe Shevack. If you are an experienced medical writer and EMWA volunteer and are interested in becoming an EMWA Ambassador, or if you know of any upcoming career events in your locality, please contact Abe Shevack (aspscientist@gmail.com).
