Aims & Objectives of the Conference


How a drug interacts with the biology of a living organism can be extremely complex. Predicting the likely behaviour of a drug early in the development process is crucial if the resources put into developing a drug candidate are to be justified. Under the current research and development budgets, effectively and accurately predicting a drug’s behaviour has never been more vital.

This event will update you with the very latest modelling systems and technologies that offer valuable tools, providing an increasingly accurate picture of the ADME properties, drug-drug interactions and toxicity. The Conference will include an evaluation of current in vivo and in vitro strategies, identifying the problems posed and providing an opportunity for leading industry experts to learn and discuss what are the most viable methods, models and systems currently in use.

The event will assess the potential for more advanced high-throughput and in silico approaches that will enable selection of the most promising candidates from the vast numbers of potential leads identified. The integration and development of different systems for predicting both ADME and toxicity will be discussed, together with looking at how resulting data can be handled and analysed.

Benefits of Attending:

 

  • PREDICTIVE ADME/TOX MODELLING: Evaluate the strategies for the development and implementation of in silico models
  • MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING: Identify the strong potential for molecular imaging applied to ADME/PK and toxicology studies
  • IN VIVO PHARMACOKINETICS: Assess the new humanised mouse and rat models for increased prediction
  • TOXICOPHORES & BIOMARKERS: Consider new approaches using in vitro systems coupled with gene expression data

    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.
