Dear Sirs,
Last year has proved to be a time of innovation and development for Termedia. The company has strengthened its leading position on the market for medical publishers and organisers of medical conferences and congresses and has also launched new strong products that give hope for development in the future.

In May 2010, after the latest Impact Factor 2009 list was announced (Journal Citation Report 2009 by Thomson Reuters Scientific), we turned out to be one of the best publishing houses, in scientific terms, in the Central Eastern Europe and the best one as regards its own titles. As many as 9 journals we publish obtained IF for the first time and Folia Neuropathologica improved its last year result. Thus, at present Termedia has even 10 IF journals.

Furthermore, in 2010, the Minister of Science and Higher Education gave the highest score to 10 our Impact Factor journals present in the Journal Citation Reports (JCR 2009) database for scientific manuscripts published in them.

Currently, we publish 27 medical journals that have more and more subscribers. Last year there were more than 850 thousand copies of our magazines printed.

In 2010, we organised 24 educational events (7 more than in 2009), including 17 conferences, 2 symposia, 3 congresses and 2 large conventions, during which we trained almost 10 thousand physicians and health managers (2 thousand more than in 2009) coming from over 1000 towns all over Poland.
Ten of such events were congresses or conferences of scientific societies or their local branches.

In 2010, the number of our portal users increased by over 40 thousand to reach over 350 thousand users.
The number of our newsletter subscribers is increasing every year and at present there over 235 thousand subscribers – people interested in medicine: physicians, managers, students of medicine, nurses and patients.
In September 2010, we launched a new Termedia information service, where the latest scientific reports and news on the health care system in the area of economics, politics and management are posted 24 hours a day seven days a week. After the launch, we noted increased traffic, which makes us very happy.

According to a survey of GfK HealthCare PL (“HCP and their behaviour in the Internet”), our portal is one of three Polish-language medical portals best known to physicians.

These very good results show that 2010 was a successful year.

Send your comments, ideas and opinions about our work. We look forward to receiving them. And first of all, we look forward to working with you!
