Facilitate
A strong scientific editorial team is vital for communicating effectively to physicians. Facilitate has a highly experienced group of medical writers and editors, all with backgrounds in biomedical science, the majority with doctorates.
We offer a range of scientific and editorial services related to meetings and to market support activities, as well as in multimedia content development (see new media). As the company has grown, we have been able to expand our services to include primary publications and publication strategies. Here are some of the things we do.
Congress editorialAudience generation is an essential part of symposium organization. With many competing sessions, yours needs to have the highest possible profile. There is, however, a limit to the usefulness of some audience-generation methods, it is important to weigh cost against the potential effectiveness.
An eye-catching invitation in the delegate bag is very influential, but the best draw for delegates is a quality scientific program and high-caliber faculty.
We can also design, develop and print a range of abstract books, conference folders and congress guides for those delegates attending your session and for the congress itself. For stand-alone events, what we can produce is limited only by our imagination.

Post-meeting publicationsThe time, money and effort put into a symposium or stand-alone conference may only benefit those in the audience, but a post-meeting publication of some kind will disseminate the information much farther. Such publications are a reliable way of spreading your messages to a wider audience when distributed via the affiliate companies around the world. We offer a range of options, from newsletters to full journal proceedings. For closed meetings, a report that records the discussions at the meeting is essential, whether for internal distribution or for sharing with the participants or other physicians. We can offer anything from an executive summary to a bespoke monograph. All our publications can be published with ISSN/ISBN registration.
Slides and slide kitsWhether a few symposium slides or a full slide resource kit, Facilitate can meet your needs. We are also able to offer a full on-site support service on PowerPoint, making life easier for presenters and creating a show that is truly professional.
Publication strategiesPlacing new product data into the public domain as quickly and efficiently as possible is now an industry SOP and one for which many agencies offer their support. Indeed, the publications strategy is fundamental to the whole global communications strategy for a new product and is a critical means of communicating product messages from an early stage in a product's life.
At Facilitate we can offer the insight and support into that strategy as well as some of the output services needed to make it successful. Not only can we provide strategic consultancy, we offer the full range of primary data outputs, including abstracts, posters, and manuscript development.
