Abstract
Business models in the field of medical and regulatory writing – can you think of a more suitable topic for discussing: collaboration, team working, and sharing complementary skills across different native languages? In this issue of Medical Writing, we have articles written by Julia Archbold and Amy Whereat who present different points of view concerning global business models. Both authors are Australian, which makes it even more global - welcome Australia to the European community of medical writers! Julia lives mainly in Australia and started her professional career in medical writing following a successful career in biomedical research; Amy lives in France and has several years of experience working as a medical writer and medical communications consultant.
