Description
Mindfulness is a way of paying attention, on purpose and non-judgementally, to what goes on in the present moment in our bodies, our minds, and in the world around us. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the largest and best-known stress reduction programme in the world which has been embraced by many large corporations and educational institutions. MBSR is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in the UK and has been shown to be effective treatment for a wide range of medical disorders, as well as improving quality of life in healthy individuals. Studies have shown that taking time to practice mindfulness at work can improve concentration and productivity. There are many techniques that can help us to learn to be mindful. These include ‘meditating’ (i.e. focusing) on the breath, our body, or on any activity that we are doing. We will practice a few simple techniques during the seminar so that participants can experience how it feels to be mindful. We will encourage the participants to share their experiences, challenges, and stresses of working as medical writers. We will then investigate how mindfulness techniques could help in these situations so that work becomes more enjoyable even when deadlines are looming.
Time
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
9:30 AM

This seminar is provided free-of-charge and is aimed at those considering a career in medical writing. It will also be interesting to those who have recently joined the profession who would like to know more. In addition to giving a presentation covering all aspects of medical writing, the seminar leader will act as a facilitator to optimise exchange of experience between participants, as well as providing insight based on her expertise in this area.

Taylor & Francis New Publishing Services, Andrea Bucceri The COVID 19 pandemic has hit the world hard and rapid communication of biomedical data has been of paramount importance. This session will focus on the new publishing formats that were launched by Taylor & Francis and Dove Press in the past 18 months in order to keep communication of biomedical findings at the highest possible level, even during virtual events. These include publication of Open Access conference material supplements and of alternative communication formats, such as podcasts or video articles. Real examples will be presented, where available, and there will be time for questions and discussion at the end.
