Working Group of Communication Professionals
The Working Group of Communication Professionals (WGCP) is a working group of Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) whose organizations are responsible for the regulation of medicinal products for human and veterinary use in the European Economic Area (EEA).
In support of the efforts of the European Regulatory Medicines Network (ERMN) with regard to public health and animal health and welfare, the HMA WGCP shall foster the professional communication between ERMN, its stakeholders (e.g. patients, doctors, veterinarians, pharmaceutical industry) and the general public (including the media). To this end, the HMA WGCP will establish and improve adequate communication channels within the ERMN.
The meetings involve the participation of representatives from the National competent Authorities (NCA’s), including EEA Competent Authorities (Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein), the European Commission and the European Medicines Agency.
The WGCP will meet on 16 – 17 December (Bruges) during the Belgian Presidency.
