Controlled Release
14 February - 15 February 2005
Controlled Release

The accelerated pace of the drug delivery industry is set to increase into 2005 and beyond with an estimated value of $70 billion dollars. Developing various methods of controlled release is important to prolong the duration of action of an active agent, to minimise adverse reactions and maximise efficacy. Innovations and developments in the application of controlled release systems are also essential for patenting new and existing drugs.

Following a series of successful drug delivery events SAE Media Group are proud to present their 4th Annual Controlled Release Conference. This event is set to uncover the latest technological advances within drug delivery, focusing on the regulatory issues in developing controlled release technologies, case studies from both pharmaceutical and drug delivery companies reporting on their current strategies and the future market for controlled release technologies. The conference will create a platform to discuss issues and challenges within controlled release systems.

    CONTROLLED RELEASE DELIVERY VIA THE LUNGS

    Dr John Patton

    Dr John Patton, Chief Scientific Officer, Nektar Therapeutic Systems

  • Absorption rate is determined by molecular weight and water solubility. The higher the molecular weight the slower the absorption
  • Small hydrophobic molecules are absorbed extremely fast (within seconds) if partially water soluble. Polar and charged small molecules are absorbed slower with peaks in serum occurring at about 60 minutes
  • Water insoluble small molecules may be retained as particles in the lungs for long periods (days)
  • Controlled release with peptides and proteins is best achieved with molecular engineering such as PEGylation
  • Controlled release of small molecules may be achieved with particle engineering as well as molecular engineering

    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.
