Foreword
|
|
Welcome to the first issue of our revamped Human Medicines Highlights newsletter. This is the only newsletter published by the European Medicines Agency specifically for patients, consumers, healthcare professionals and their representative organisations. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to share their feedback over the past year, helping us to improve this newsletter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have improved the visibility of this newsletter, with a more modern look and multilingual content
|
|
|
As we launch the new Human Medicines Highlights, here are a few things you will notice:
- The newsletter arrives directly in your inbox, with a summary of each item that can be clicked to access the full content online;
- The online version of the newsletter is now available in all EU languages, which we hope will help bring the content to more readers;
- The content is grouped in dedicated sections, making it easier to find information on topics of interest, such as upcoming events, calls for interest and open consultations.
The newsletter will also include featured articles on topics of interest that we want to share with you from time to time. As we celebrate European Mental Health Week during 13-19 May, it is timely to include an update from a recent multistakeholder workshop on psychedelics.
I hope you enjoy reading the new Human Medicines Highlights. Please feel free to circulate it to your members and networks. We welcome your feedback and suggestions for future issues. Please share this with us by email: public-engagement@ema.europa.eu.
Juan Garcia Burgos Head of Public and Stakeholder Engagement
