Society for Endocrinology Media / External Relations Advisory Group - call for expressions of interest

The Society for Endocrinology is interested in forming a Media / External Relations Advisory Group. This group would work with the External Relations team in the Bristol office to help raise the profile of endocrinology and the Society to the public and the media. Composed of 5-6 endocrinologists with an interest in public communication, the group would: · Meet with the External Relations team and agree targets, standard operating procedures, and structures · Approve all press releases · Provide a technical resource for the External Relations team · Advise the External Relations team of upcoming events/research · Where appropriate, represent the Society to the public and press, and work with the External Relations team to develop a public and media communication strategy. We anticipate that the group would largely communicate electronically, and perhaps meet at major Society events such as the forthcoming November meeting and the annual spring meeting. If you are interested in helping to promote and publicise the subject of endocrinology to the public, please contact Jo Thurston on +44 (0)1454 642230 or email: [email protected]
