Salix and Co handed brief for Commissioning Show and Health and Care 2015

Salix and Co has been reappointed by event organiser CloserStill Media as the official PR partner for the Commissioning Show and Health and Care 2015.

The annual gathering of health professionals will take place once again at the Excel in London on June 24th and 25th, with more than 300 speakers already booked for the conference.

Salix and Co has been appointed to run PR for the event for the second consecutive year following a non-competitive pitch. It will be responsible for delivering the media strategy and managing press activity before, during and after the show, reports PRWeek.

Alex Jones, marketing manager at CloserStill Media, said Salix's contributions will be instrumental to the success of the show.

Sarah Wrixon, managing director of Salix and Co, said: "As health and social care challenges become more complex, and the system ever more fragmented, this event gives commissioners access to information and resources across the entire system."

The agency's existing health sector clients include the likes of NHS England, Pharmacy Voice, the Health Foundation and Novo Nordisk.
