Osteoporosis and Menopausal Disorders

Osteoporosis and Menopausal Disorders
As the population ages there is a growing market for therapeutics that smooth the menstrual transition. Osteoporosis is one condition that appears to have an increasing number of sufferers, indeed the rate of bone fracture is increasing at a rate beyond that that can be explained by the ageing population alone. The Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that by 2010 there will be 35 million women with osteoporosis or low bone mass, representing a rapidly expanding market for therapies that combat the disease.

With the recent contraversy over the so-called ‘hormone replacement therapies’ and their side effects, there is an increasing need to look into ways of modifying HRT treatments and into alternative treatments for osteoporosis and menopausal symptoms. One possible way forward seems to be the development of SERMS and non-hormonal solutions. This conference will endeavour to evaluate the real risk associated with HRT, how to manage HRT products in an unstable market and it will look into the potential benefits of other classes of treatment such as bisphosphonates which may pave the way forward.

SAE Media Group has identified this as a key time to provide an in-depth evaluation of the epidemiology of osteoporosis and menopausal disorders and to create a forum at which the future market for agents against osteoporosis and other effects of the menopause can be discussed.

A unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts including:
· Dr Robert Spirtas, Chief, Contraception & Reproductive Health Branch, CPR, NICHD, National Institutes of Health
· Dr Sanjay Kumar, Director, GlaxoSAE Media GroupthKline
· Dr Donato Agnusdei, Osteoporosis Consultant, Europe & Latin America Eli Lilly
· Dr Ji Li, Research Scientist, Amgen
· Dr John Fox, Senior Scientist, NPS Pharmaceuticals
· Prof Andrea Genazzani, Professor & Chairman, International Society of Gynaecological Endocrinology & University of Pisa
· Dr Eugene McCloskey, Clinical Senior Lecturer, Honorary Consultant, Metabolic Bone Diseases, World’s Health Organisation, Collaborating Centre, Metabolic Bone Diseases & University of Sheffield

Key benefits of attending:
DIAGNOSTICS: focus on early detection of osteoporosis
HRT THERAPIES: learn about potential benefits and dangers related to HRT
ALTERNATIVE STRATEGIES: review novel approaches to the treatment of osteoporosis
BONE FORMING AGENTS: understand the use of parathyroid hormone peptides for the treatment of osteoporosis
EXPERIMENTAL AREAS: gain an insight into combination therapies

    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.
