Communiqué Awards 2011

The 2011 Communiqué Awards took place on Thursday July, 7 at the Grosvenor House hotel, Park Lane, London.

The Awards encourage, recognise and commend excellence and best practice in healthcare communications, from initiatives that deliver real improvements in healthcare, build trust with stakeholders and enhance industry reputation.

Guests at this, the fourteenth annual Communiqué Awards, were entertained by comedian John Bishop who shared his experiences of his early career in the pharma industry.
