Writing and EditingEngland, United Kingdom51-200 Employees

EMWA is a European professional association for medical writers and editors, focused on promoting standards of excellence in medical writing and supporting professional development. Based in White Colne, England, the organization operates as a mid-sized body with a membership that exceeds 1,000 individuals across 27 countries, comprising academics and professionals who work in-house or freelance for pharmaceutical firms, medical device makers, medical communications agencies, research institutes, and scientific journalism.

EMWA runs an extensive professional development program that includes workshops and educational and social events at biannual conferences held in European locations, in spring and autumn. It was founded in 1992 by a small group of biomedical communicators, and its strategic objectives include building the profession, expanding its membership, improving organizational processes, and providing a forum for members to share expertise. A recent development shows the association's Medical Device Special Interest Group engaging with events and planning virtual elements for its 58th conference in late 2024, including a workshop preview.
