Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients

Remote Access Only Announcement

Due to ongoing concerns over COVID-19 we have now made this conference a virtual event. All speakers, attendees and sponsors will be able to access the full conference and its materials and will be able to log on remotely via the internet. Please contact a member of the SAE Media Group Team for more information customerservices@SAE Media Group-online.co.uk

SAE Media Group is delighted to announce its 4th Annual Highly Potent Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients conference coming to London on the 11th-12th May 2020.

The increasing demand for medicines that target diseases more effectively and with fewer side effects is leading HPAPI market expansion with a CAGR of 10.3%. It is forecasted that by 2024, the HPAPI oncology market will be worth close to $100 billion.

As such, these highly potent substances predispose workers to higher risks of exposure and consequently, need to be manufactured according to strict criteria. Limiting exposure has become one of the biggest hurdles of the HPAPI industry resulting in an increasing need for containment solutions aimed to reduce the risk of hazard and to prevent cross-contamination. With elevated risk come stricter regulatory guidelines that pharmaceutical companies and contract manufacturers need to adhere to.

The 4th year of this conference series focuses on the growing HPAPI landscape driven by the demand for highly potent drugs in oncology, diabetes and autoimmune disease treatment. This event will address the biggest challenges the industry is facing with regards to determining toxicology limits, assessing hazards, implementing risk procures, translating risk assessment into facility engineering, preventing and dealing with cross-contamination and adhering to GMP regulatory guidelines.

    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.
