Description

In June this year the Academy of Medical Sciences launched a report investigating how we can all best use evidence to judge the benefits and harms of medicines. The project involved extensive engagement with healthcare professionals and the public, as well as workshops to examine issues such as conflict of interest, sources of evidence and communications, which were attended by many Stempra members. The report has important messages for policy makers, healthcare professionals, patients, journalists and science communicators to improve the use of evidence - and emphasises the joint responsibility of each.

You can access the full report here: https://acmedsci.ac.uk/file-download/44970096

The report recognises the essential role that science and health press officers play in the communication of evidence and hoped to stimulate discussion about the best way to support press officers in their role.

Come along to our event to find out more about it, how the recommendations are being taken forwards, and most importantly, for a chance for you to have your say in what you think the sector could do to better support STEM press officers.

On the panel are:

Claire Bithell, Head of Communications at AMS
Claire Hastings, Chair of Stempra
Ed Sykes, Senior Press Manager at the Science Media Centre
Carmel Turner, Chief Press Officer at the Medical Research Council

Rob Dawson, Head of Communications, Advocacy and Support, at the Meningitis Research Foundation, will chair the discussion.

Time: arrival from 6:30 for a 7pm start
Date: Thursday 23rd November 2017
Where: The Academy of Medical Sciences, 41 Portland Place, London W1B 1QH

The event is only open to people who work in STEM PR and communications, so please do state your job title and organisation when you register.
