March 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Cliniminds www.cliniminds.com, announced today one more workshop on Medical & Scientific Content Writing to be held on 20th -21th march 2010 after getting huge response from previous workshops.

Medical writing is the composition, compilation, structuring and reviewing of medical scientific information by a specialized scientist, i.e. a medical writer, who was not involved in the actual experiment and not necessarily in the analysis of the research results. The purpose of having a dedicated writing specialist is to ensure the presentation of the data in timely documents that comply in content, format and structure with internal standard operating procedures of the sponsor and with regulatory requirements or journal guidelines for authors.

Medical writing is a critical and complex activity involving the creation of scientific documentation that facilitates, among other things, interpretation of clinical research results , and clarity on drug use guidelines , besides providing other medical information about the products. This task requires deep understanding of regulatory /scientific guidelines involves liaising with many different stakeholders such as clinical research scientists ,doctors ,and so on .Medical writing is recognized as a task that requires special skills , such as thorough understanding of clinical and Medical Data , as well as the ability to present information clearly and concisely in well structured documents as per the guidelines.

Medical writing is an established function in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotech industry, because not every researcher has the time and skill to write well-structured and formatted documents that present information so clearly and concisely that a reader can understand the meaning without prior knowledge of the research program. With an increasing pressure to reduce time-to-market for new drugs and increasing standards of market authorization and reimbursement by payors, writing of timely documents that can be understood quickly and easily has become an economic necessity. Hence, the growth of professional medical writing.
