FMC - Public Relations

First Medical Communications has dominated the healthcare communications sector in Ireland since its launch in 2002 as the country’s first ‘medical-only’ public relations agency.

The company quickly established an industry-wide reputation for excellence in the delivery of bespoke healthcare communication solutions in the public affairs, fast-moving consumer goods, business and digital media settings.

Almost ten years of consistent specialisation has enabled FMC to build up a peerless medical knowledge base across more than 30 different therapeutic areas in the OTC, consumer and Rx sectors.

FMC is not only well versed with the science of healthcare in Ireland, but is also familiar with the often complex socio-political issues surrounding therapeutic intervention. We understand the complex relationships that often exist between different stakeholders – whether clinician, healthcare manager or funder.

Specialisation has also afforded FMC a unique profile within Irish media circles. Our engagement with healthcare professionals, opinion leaders, reporters and editors comes only through the medium of healthcare and our relationships and contacts book strongly reflects the advantages of such consistency.

Our Work

The company provides a comprehensive range of services from product launches through to medical education for healthcare professionals and consumer disease awareness campaigns.

Our imaginative campaigns and outreaches have won a string of national and global accolades. In many instances they have provided a template for best practice in other international markets.
