In TVF Communications we have our eyes on the USA, with plans to open our first North American office in Cambridge, Massachusetts within the next quarter. In addition to being handy for the American members of our team, the site will be near the R&D campuses of many of our biggest clients. Watch this space as we move into our new neighbourhood.

Back in the UK, the publications team attended the annual European meeting of the International Society for Medical Publication Professionals (ISMPP) in Aldersgate, for a preview of the regulatory changes affecting Europe, the US and other major markets over the coming month. But this was also an opportunity to discuss the industry’s latest initiatives to boost transparency around clinical trial programmes, through resources like ClinicalStudyDataRequest.com. This is a hub where major pharmaceutical companies, including GSK, Bayer and Novartis, have pledged to share the (anonymised) patient-level data collected in their clinical trials with researchers – a genuine step-change.

On the digital health front, we are now an official Veeva partner agency – giving us the ability to integrate our healthcare applications with the CRM and content management systems of many of our current clients. With key performance indicators already at the heart of everything we do, we are thrilled at the opportunity to access new banks of user data in order to help our clients set (and reach) their performance goals.
