Representatives of our Medical Writing Team participated on Drug Safety For Medical Writers: Part 2 – Laboratory Data workshop, which was part of EMWA Professional Development Programme within 54th EMWA Conference. The role of the medical writer in preparing summaries of safety data are to take a large amount of information and to present the most important points in a useful and understandable format. The challenge for the writer is to identify what is important and to answer the readers’ questions before they have been asked. The aim of the workshop was to improve our approach to writing the laboratory and other safety data sections of documents relating to clinical trials, particularly clinical study reports and to bring the data to life so that the writer can present safety data that are interesting to the reader.
