Vaccines Summit
16 June - 17 June 2008
Vaccines Summit

Vaccines are hailed as one of the most important public health achievements of the 20th century, fundamentally changing how clinicians prevent and treat disease and substantially impacting public health (Poland, Murray & Bonilla-Guerrero, 2007).

At a time of increasing demand and market for vaccines, SAE Media Group are proud to hold their 4th Biannual Vaccines Summit, bringing together the key players of the vaccine industry to work towards saving and enhancing lives.
Discover the newest developments in the four main fields of the vaccine industry: HIV, Cancer, Pandemic Flu and Neglected and Paediatric Diseases, and find out what the key market leaders do to overcome challenges to work towards their goals.

Who should attend and why:

As a vaccine manufacturer, hearing about your competitor’s vaccine manufacturing capabilities and strategies will enable you to identify their strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to exploit your competitive advantage and respond to future market opportunities faster.
Putting you face to face with the key players of the vaccines manufacturing field and government delegates will allow you to build up relationships for your biotechnology company that could lead to successful partnerships and invaluable advice on corporate strategy, funding and investment into research and development.
Meeting the people behind vaccine technology will give you a deeper insight into the industry and will allow you to establish relationships between your government organisation that will lead to successful health campaigns to ensuring domestic and global health.
The exceptional networking possibilities for CROs at this event will give you the opportunity to present your research and development capabilities, allowing you to position your company most effectively in the corporate landscape.

Our exceptional speaker line-up includes:
  • Dr Juergen Zorn, Senior Medical Manager, Pharmacovigilance, Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics GmbH & Co. KG
  • Dr Ashoni Arora, Wyeth

    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.
