Upcoming webinar: Copyright for medical writers (PDP webinar) with Anna Evangeli
Copyright for Medical Writers
Which photos can you use on your blog without breaking the law?
What about music for your podcast or words for your next social media post?
What if someone copies your snappy headline? Can you do anything about it?
Copyright law has something to say about these and many other common dilemmas medical writers face when they create original works or use other people’s material.
The webinar covers what you need to know to avoid breaking the law, using practical examples relevant to both freelancers and employees. That includes what the law does and does not cover, whether a simple picture credit is enough to get you off the hook, and sources of copyright-free or licensed material.
Anna Evangeli has been a science and medical journalist for more than 25 years, including staff roles at the ABC, The Conversation and Medical Observer. She has also taught journalism at two universities, including writing a media law course for journalists and film-makers on topics including copyright, defamation and contempt law.
DISCLAIMER: Anna is not a lawyer. Instead, her expertise lies in picking apart complex texts, mining them for relevant information, then presenting that information in a fun and engaging way to non-specialists.
She has degrees in biochemistry and journalism.

Upcoming Webinar - Statistics for Medical Writers
AMWA is pleased to bring you the first webinar of 2026. Presented by Dr Richard Kay, this webinar will give you a clear, logical structure
for thinking about statistical methodology in pharmaceutical R&D. You'll be introduced to methods used in different settings, which are
driven by the endpoint type, with a particular focus on binary (odds ratios, relative risks) and time to event (Kaplan-Meier curves, hazard
ratios) endpoints. Ideas behind p-values, confidence intervals, and powering a study to detect important levels of effect will be covered.
Each concept will be illustrated with case studies.
