Posted on May 28, 2020 by Peter Llewellyn

Ben Church (Account Executive at Oxford PharmaGenesis), Alice Fantom (Account Executive at Envision Pharma Group) and Charlotte Lupton (Senior Scientific Project Leader at Helios Medical Communications) are all profiled in the latest issue of our FirstMedComms careers guide, The business of medical communications: a guide to getting started in account management, published in January 2020. In this webinar, we focus on what they actually do during their working days. What’s the scope of MedComms projects? How are they planned and budgeted? How are they executed and managed?
