Managing Clinical Trial Results
11 October - 12 October 2004
Managing Clinical Trial Results
Failure to efficiently manage clinical trials data results in:
  • Massive revenue loss
  • Unacceptable delays in trials
  • Compromised patient safety
  • Undermined data validity

We have identified the need to provide a forum which will address how best to avoid these problems, and so increase the potential of your current trials.

The event provides a forum for teams involved both in clinical trials and data management, to discuss the latest technologies, implications of new regulations and the current status of trials.

The event specifically includes the impact of new directives.

Unique opportunity to learn from the leading experts including:
  • Dr Elaine Godfrey, Pharmaceutical Assessor, Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
  • Dr Johann Proeve, Global Head, Data Acquisition & Management, Bayer
  • Dr P K Tandon, Senior Vice President, BioMedical Operations, Genzyme
  • Dr Marco Taglietti, Vice President, Clinical Research, Schering-Plough Research Institute
  • Lauri Sirabella, Executive Director & Site Head, Clinical Study & Data Management, Pfizer

  • Hani Kamel, Quality & Security Advisor, Novo Nordisk
Programme highlights include:

REGULATIONS: Hear about the impact of new Directives including CDISC standards and the EU Directive
RECRUITMENT & STRATEGIES IN DATA MANAGEMENT: Understand the current issues surrounding employment and change management
ELECTRONIC DATA CAPTURE: Make valuable contacts with those at the forefront of development and implementation

    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.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
