About the conference

SAE Media Group's 2011 conference on Social Media in the Pharmaceutical Industry aims to address the current concerns of the industry about using social media, while allowing delegates to explore the best methods for entering this interactive environment and using it successfully to reach your goals.

There are many social media platforms to choose from, many ways of interacting and many uses for social media in the pharma industry - marketing, corporate communications, brand development, product recognition, interacting with patient groups and more.  Through explanatory talks and relevant case studies, delegates will leave the conference with a knowledge and confidence that will allow them to introduce successful social media strategies into their organisations.

Taking place in London, UK, this conference will also cover social media monitoring and social networking software to ensure delegates can maximise their use of social media marketing, communications and patient group interaction.


Get more from the conference - Join us for a drinks reception on day one, straight after the final presentation.  Network and socialise with the speakers and other delegates; ask questions, discuss ideas and plan partnerships over drinks and nibbles.


Why not attend the associated workshop as well?

Associated with the conference there will be an interactive workshop on "Incorporating Social Media Tactics into Pharmaceutical and Biotech Strategy", taking place on 25th January.  It will cover discussions about the current social media landscape, where pharma could learn from social media use in other industries, how to engage with key stakeholders, governance issues and implications for pharma in the future.  This will be led by Kasif Chaudhry, Managing Director and Jennifer Sayer, Consultant, both of Clarescent LLC.  To see more information about the workshop, please see the Social Media 2011 workshop page.

    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.
