The GMDN Agency, based in Oxfordshire's fast-growing science cluster around Milton Park, has appointed Kelso Consulting as the first public relations agency in its 20-year history.

The Agency is a not-for-profit body that oversees the Global Medical Device Nomenclature, the naming convention for the millions of medical devices used in hospitals and elsewhere around the world.

Its scope ranges from basic items such as bed screens and scalpels, right through to highly sophisticated devices such as implants, and machines such as scanners and air ambulances.

The nomenclature

Today's reporting on the ongoing and unpleasant Carl Beech saga (the made up fantasies about a Westminster paedophile ring) revolves around the police statement at a now infamous press conference that Beech and his lies were "credible and true".

The problem for the police is that we now know what he said was not true and he was not very credible either.  The key question is at what point did the police realise he was not very credible either and why did they say his allegations were true... and why were they slow to correct this.

Elements of being a thought leader include being knowledgeable and recognised for having interesting views and insights.

Measuring ROI on Public Relations

Over the years there has been numerous attempts by various people to give a "value" to press coverage so Managers could compare specific items of press coverage and say things such as "Wow, that was a great bit of coverage it scores a 98, whereas that coverage wasn't so good as it only gets a 15".
