Haematology breaks away from only being hosted on touchONCOLOGY to offer HCPs a dedicated space focused on the latest news and insights delivered by experts.

Our eighth site for HCPs goes live!

Covering a myriad of infectious disease, touchINFECTIOUS DISEASES became our latest specialist therapy area website for HCPs.

Growing our brand presence

Our brand identity is strong with our HCPs as well as our supporters and clients and partners – we took steps to strengthen this by trademarking our services and products.

New opportunities in medical education

Including the specialties of dermatology, rheumatology, gastroenterology and many more, we launched touchIMMUNOLOGY with Professor Peter Taylor as Editor-in-Chief for the flagship journal, touchREVIEWS in RMD.

Growth leads to change

Completed major corporate restructure into group of businesses reflecting significant growth, Touch Medical Media Group Holdings Ltd, Touch Medical Communications Ltd, Touch Medical Media Services Ltd & Touch Independent Medical Education Ltd.

HCP engagement and measurement moved up a notch

With improved user experience for our HCP audience at the core of the brief, we launched our revised therapy area websites providing a better learning environment for our global audience.

Strategic partnerships formed to give superior reach into China and Japan

Given the complexities of marketing into China and the considerable amount of regulation, we partnered with a specialist Chinese digital healthcare consultancy, and partner with the world’s largest network of doctors who have a China based affiliate who are very well known in China to help reach large numbers of the right physicians in China.

Industry leading outcomes reporting

We’ve invested significantly in our educational outcomes, we’ve noticed learners are more likely to complete activities and quickly implement knowledge into practice, resulting in improved patient outcomes. Investing in our ability to report on these outcomes was an important step forward for both touchIME and TMC.

Commitment to delivering quality content

In early 2019 we were delighted to launch our full product suite for touchIME and TMC. The design of our educational activities ensures that as many HCPs as possible are able to easily access the content in a format that makes it easy for them to absorb information – in a way that suits them, when it suits them, on a device that suits them.

Acquired world renowned cardiology journal, Heart International

We announced the acquisition and relaunch of Heart International, a leading cardiology journal, as part of the touchCARDIO journal portfolio – and we also strengthened our strategic partnership with Interventional Academy, owner of the Complex Cardiovascular Catheter Therapeutics (C3) Global Summit.

touchIME is GO!

With the guiding principles to be learner and patient centric, Touch Medical Media launched touchIME to deliver ‘next generation IME’ through a dedicated focus on instructional design, education planning  and content that provides specific, measurable and valuable benefits to both learners and  their patients.

Recognition for leading endocrinology resources

In 2017 we were delighted that touchENDOCRINOLOGY journal European Endocrinology, was accepted for indexing on PubMed and PubMed Central  which increased the exposure of content from this excellent journal. 

Going from strength to strength in medical communications

Launching Touch Medical Communications Ltd enabled us to develop our work in creating effective multichannel medical communications, which are sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry.

15 worldwide congresses covered

Launching video assets covering cutting edge topics at fifteen major congresses worldwide, helped us populate our platforms with new and engaging content, while further developing some of the partner relationships we still work with today. We also launched our client impact reports, sowing the seeds for our industry leading outcomes reporting.

Therapy areas coverage increased

In 2015, we proudly launched our Cardiology and Respiratory platforms increasing therapy area coverage from four to six.

New websites launched

Taking a digital leap forward, in 2014 we redesigned all our therapy area websites, introducing features developed with the busy HCP in mind. These initiatives ensured that our HCP community was able to benefit from highly relevant content in their specialty, in a format designed for mobile optimisation.We also made the decision to develop rich media assets with a specific focus on video.

Touch Medical Media establish key relationships with partners

We are constantly working to develop valuable media partnerships with the most respected not-for-profit medical societies both in Europe and the US. In 2013 we signed our first agreements with key partners enabling us to promote awareness of their work while also providing open access, peer-reviewed articles, and multimedia content to their members. 

Formed world class editorial team

As the company developed, so there was a need for new talent to be brought onboard.    The world class editorial team which has been assembled over the years has its humble beginnings in the very early days of Touch Medical Media.

The focus from print to online education began here, where the company specialized in several key medical therapy areas where we believed our education could make the biggest impact to patient health.

It was also in 2012 that TMM pioneered a totally work from home setup, allowing attraction of the best talent – not limited by geography.

With this, came a specialism in remote filmed education, putting TMM in an extremely strong position with the paradigm shift in recent times to online education and remote working.
