Pharmaceutical Packaging and Labelling
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices put a strong emphasis on safe, manageable, compliant packaging that maintains the product in its intended state, can be used easily by the consumer/patient and represents the efficiency that companies wish to be associated with their brand. Representing a huge market in itself (it has been estimated that the Pharmaceutical packaging market will increase to $18.2 billion by 2005), packaging and labelling plays a crucial role in the commercial value of a drug or device.

This global Conference aims to take a close look at current and pending regulations governing packaging and labelling and how to ensure compliance. The event hopes to provide an interactive forum whereby representatives from Pharmaceutical and medical device companies, packaging manufacturers/contracters and regulatory authorities can come together to assess the regulations and their impact on the industry.

The event would look at how to communicate information and instructions to the consumer, how best to design packaging, how to ensure it meets the criteria in terms of useability, child resistance and protection from potentially harmful environmental factors. The event will also cover topical issues such as bar coding and will take a look at some of the issues surrounding security.

This event hold a high appeal for anyone trying to stay at the forefront of developments, from technical/engineering issues, to manufacture, from quality assurance and compliance to security and safety. A unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts including:

    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.
