In 2014, a group of medical information leaders across Europe (MILE) got together to form a group that is dedicated to collaboratively addressing common issues, as well as share best practice and knowledge. This session will trace the journey of the MILE group, notably the recent developments since summer 2016 when it began a partnership with the EFPIA to lead a Medical Information Working Group. A key goal for MILE is to raise the awareness of Pharma Medical Information and demonstrate that it supports the safe and effective use of pharmaceutical products and medical devices by providing timely, scientifically balanced answers to unsolicited medical questions from HCPs, patients and caregivers. Similar to the launched phact-MI.org online access to medical information departments in the US, MILE is working on developing the European Gateway to all of pharmaceutical medical information.
