Point of Care Diagnostics - Market Opportunities and Technology Trends

SAE Media Group are proud to present the 8th annual Point of Care Diagnostics: Market Adoption and Technology Trends conference scheduled for the 24th and 25th of October 2011.

The need for point of care diagnostics has rapidly increased in an era of mandatory efficiency. Bypassing pathology laboratories and the integration of software interfaces could redirect resources and support comparatively rapid response and action for the patient. Successful adoption of POCT predicts the amelioration of turnaround time, morbidity and mortality in healthcare. The supply and demand for POCT has never been greater and now possesses the momentum and trajectory to circumvent analytical, regulatory, political and commercial constraints.

Key opinion leaders deliver this case study driven conference, orators will provide insight into contemporary issues and success stories equipping delegates with valuable information essential for success in the global market place.

The conference will address:

  • Technology trends and advances: Presentation and review of the hottest technology of the year
  • Commercial and Regulatory issues: The business case for developing POCT and facilitating the translation of research and gaps in technology
  • Developing, BRIC and developed world market review: Analysis of world market trends and identification of demand and gaps in supply.
  • Oncology, companion diagnostics and personalised medicine: Pharmaceuticals vs. pharmasuitables and prescribing the appropriate treatment to an individual

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.
