The Gilead Sciences KnowledgeBank™ eLearning/eWorking system is a finalist in the Best Internal Communications category at the Communiqué Awards 2011.

The Gilead ethos is about making a difference in the lives of patients suffering from serious unmet medical needs in fast moving disease areas. To achieve this, they wanted a cutting-edge internal communications system that would become the trusted internal brand for in-depth product knowledge training and the most current industry therapy information needed on the job. The KnowledgeBank eLearning/eWorking solution delivered this dynamic communications vision and by linking ‘the learning’ to ‘the doing’ it has created a practical but continuous learning culture. It has been translated into five languages and is being used by general managers, medical affairs, marketing and sales teams across Gilead’s 14 European markets and Australia/New Zealand.

The Communiqué awards encourage, recognise and commend excellence and best practice in healthcare communications, from initiatives that deliver real improvements in healthcare, build trust with stakeholders and enhance industry reputation.
