As the current restrictions continue, the PMI are delighted to continue the webinar series which launched in April.   

These webinars provide regular industry updates from stakeholders and KOL’s during these very difficult and challenging times. 

For the month of June, we’ll have another 3 webinars which as before will take place Wednesday mornings at 8am.  These webinars run from June 10th to June 24th inclusive. 

There will be an opportunity to pose questions to the speakers in the live webinars, however if you are unable to make the live webinar, you also have the option watch at your leisure as each session is recorded.  Speaker slides (where available) and a unique link to the recordings will be sent automatically to each person registered, following the event. 

June webinar series 

10th June – Moving to remote engagement with HCP’s

Covid19 has forced us to move from face-to-face meetings and engagements with HCP’s to remote, virtual and digital engagement.  This is a new world for many, and there are lots of aspects to consider from privacy and GDPR rules to how to make your service stand out in a cluttered digital world.

June 17th – Presenting and engaging in the virtual world 

We can’t visit hospitals and consulting rooms for the foreseeable future – in fact it’s hard to know if this access will ever return to previous levels.  As a result, many companies are looking at how to bring their services and engagement with HCP’s online.   This webinar will focus on how to transfer the skills of impact, influence and presenting to the virtual world, as well as the adjustments needed when communicating remotely.
