Healthcare

The healthcare industry is currently getting massi-ve attention from the media, decision-makers and the general public. The industry also faces signi-ficant transformations which will change the way businesses and organisations act in the future:

• Healthcare issues and treatments get extensi-ve coverage in newspapers and on television. Meanwhile, cost reductions in the media industry mean that there are fewer journalists to produce more. This means that contact with journalists has to be more accurate and effective.

• Politically there are clear objectives to get more and better healthcare for our money. This brings pressure to bear on health companies to create revenue and if companies are to be able to market their products and make their opinion known to the decision-makers, an understanding of the political context is imperative. At Holm Kommunikation we know how the media and the politicians work. We can help you to get your message through and contribute constructively to the healthcare debate.

• Collaboration between the healthcare industry and medical researchers is currently the subject of hefty debate, which is expected to continue in 2014.

• We expect to see a clamp-down on the regu-lations concerning experts’ competences to act when they are also members of specialist committees. The industry’s donations to hospital research projects are furthermore a hot issue.

• Restrictions are also expected to be applied on the industry’s donations to patient organisations. The European Commission announced in 2013 that this will also apply to the regulations concer-ning the approval of medical equipment.
