SAE Media Group Presents their 6th annual conference on...

ADMET: 

Translating Research into Clinical Outcomes

About the conference

 

ADMET performs a vital function in early drug discovery, without this screening the proportion of formulations failing at the trails stage of drug development would rise, and the financial implications would be severe. Therefore, it is crucial that the ADMET programmes that companies employ to filter their drug candidates down are as thorough as possible, and up to date with the latest technology.


This conference will address a wide range of in vivo, in silico and in vitro ADMET case studies in a showcase of examples from an internationally renowned line up of speakers with intimate knowledge of the latest industry developments.

Key Topics addressed:

 

  • Metabonomics
  • Optimisation and prediction
  • Toxicity and genotoxicity
  • Blood brain barrier and bioavailability
  • In silico, in vitro and in vivo correlations
  • PK/PD modeling
  • Proteomics
  • Regulatory developments

Make sure you save the date for our half day pre-conference workshop

Associated with the conference there will be a half-day interactive workshop on "Predictive Toxicology Model Building", taking place on Tuesday 5th of June.

The workshop aims to provide a set of stimulating problem-solving activities used latest advanced modelling and analysis techniques and case studies of relevance to research scientists, modellers, and risk assessors, needing to predict the toxicities of compounds. Workshop participants will study problems with hands-on examples using leading methods and discuss complex issues highlighted by examples presented by the instructor.

Leading this workshop will be Barry Hardy, Director, Douglas Connect To see more information about the workshop, please see the comprehensive 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.
