Hot topics in Medical Information – back by popular demand

The 8th annual Hot Topics in Medical Information (MI) Conference will be a day of sharing, discussing and learning.  It is time to return to a face to face meeting in London with an opportunity to network and be inspired.  The venue has plenty of space and is the perfect relaxed environment to share and learn together.

As always we have some great speakers lined up bringing expertise and industry insights, plus discussion time.

Do you wish you could talk to other experienced MI colleagues and discuss the latest topics and challenges?  For example:

• How can I promote our services and not be accused of soliciting enquiries?
• How can I navigate the Code using chatbots and self-service websites?
• How can I add value by having a clear strategy plan?
• What should be in a strategy plan?
• What are the big IT developments that should be on my radar?
• Should I be worried about ChatGPT?
• How can I develop a patient support website?
• How can I manage Brexit with different licence information for Northern Ireland and GB enquiries and response documents?

If you’d like answers to any or all of these questions, join us for a day of sharing, learning and discussion.

On the agenda

Developing your Medical Information strategy plan
Jayne Packham, Jayne Packham Consultancy

Do you have a Medical Information strategy plan in place to get results? Having run a successful business for 23+ years, Jayne will share why a strategic plan is needed, what it should contain and will share a strategy framework that we’ll start working on. As the saying goes, a goal without a plan is just a wish.

What are the latest digital initiatives that are or could impact Medical Information activities in the future? For example, we’ll explore ChatGPT and debate if it is friend or foe!

No.  This is an in-person event only.
