Good Relations & Hugh James are carefully controlling Seroxat media

Litigation and individual members’ cases should not be discussed at support meetings.

Contacting the media. Please do not encourage your members to contact the media. The Group, with Hugh James and Good Relations, are co-ordinating a carefully controlled media approach. If a member of the group asks for your advice on approaching the media, please put them in touch with the committee.

Medical advice. Be careful not to give, or appear to give, medical advice.

Please do not contact any organisation or individual on behalf of the Seroxat Users Group unless you have discussed this with the committee first.

Please do not claim to represent the views of the Seroxat Users Group.

Handling the press and making statements


Unless you are promoting the launch of your group, please do not contact the press. Before contacting the press about your group, it is important you contact John Wilkinson of Good Relations. His telephone number is 029 2034 4888 and his email address is jwilkinson@goodrelations.co.uk. Please advise Hugh James and the committee of your contact with the press so that they can be prepared for enquiries.



If you are contacted by a member of the press on any topic, it is important that you do not make any statement, provide information or take part in an interview without talking to John Wilkinson. Please take the journalist’s name, organisation and contact details and promise to get back to them. Do not feel pressurised to answer questions or respond immediately.
