 MSL Best Practice and KOL Management

Announcing SAE Media Group's 3rd annual KOL Europe conference...

KOL Management and MSL Best Practice in Europe 2011

29th and 30th June 2011, Munich, Germany

About the conference

Following the successes of our previous KOL management conferences in London, Munich and Stockholm over the past three years, SAE Media Group are proud to present the latest event in our KOL Portfolio - KOL Management and MSL Best Practice in Europe.

Taking place in the delightful city of Munich in Germany, this conference will look at the best methods and strategies for pharma to use when dispersing medical or scientific information to stakeholders and the public, and when recruiting and managing KOLs as part of this process.

The identification and management of such key opinion leaders can be both challenging and rewarding for all involved - but the industry needs to have a firm understanding of the ROI of both KOL and MSL programmes.  By exploring how to determine the ROI, and indeed how to increase the gains through strategic programmes and structured internal change management, this conference will give delegates a well-rounded view of this vital part of the industry, and is a must attend event.

Allowing for plenty of discussion within the agenda this conference is unique in providing an ideal platform to obtain the building blocks needed for successful KOL interactions and MSL programmes, whilst offering networking opportunities throughout the day.

Fancy speaking at the conference?  Do you know of anyone who may be interested in speaking?  We are always on the look-out for new speakers for our upcoming conferences.  Let us know - contact the Conference Producer.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
