Medtech industry specialist MedilinkWM has strengthened its Connectivity team for information management by promoting Awen Clement to the new role of Project and Knowledge Management Controller.
A major aspect of MedilinkWM’s work is sharing knowledge and providing collaboration opportunities across four ‘networks’ covering human engineering, infection control, assisted living and digital health. As part of her new role, Awen will monitor the organisation’s success in delivering this project through to 2012.
Awen has been with MedilinkWM since 2008, when she joined as an information analyst and gave the organisation’s knowledge management processes a thorough overhaul. She is also one of the founders of the Birmingham Knowledge Network, which exists to further best practice and thinking in the information management sector.
The Connectivity team identifies commercial, industrial, political and academic information across the life sciences spectrum and distributes it among over 1,000 associate organisations.
Connectivity Director Chris Dyke commented: “The life sciences industry is very broad, and no two parts of it require the same information. Also, the industry moves and changes at a very fast rate. Awen has brought a focused but thorough approach to knowledge and information management throughout our organisation. Our partners are already witnessing the benefit of her extensive expertise.”
