Online workshop: The Medical Writer’s Social Media Toolkit, Monday 4 July

Join us for a new online workshop in July with renowned nutritionist blogger and social media expert, A/Prof Tim Crowe.

In this workshop, Tim will outline some top tips on how to work with, not against social media, and why you should be considering delving into the world of social media as a professional.
