About the conference

Following the successes of our previous KOL conferences in London, Munich and Stockholm over the past three years, SAE Media Group are proud to present the latest event in our KOL Management Portfolio - KOL: Knowledge Leader Partnerships.

Taking place in London, UK, this conference will look at the interaction between key academics/physicians and industry as a vital part of any marketing strategy to commercialise a new drug.

The identification and management of such key opinion leaders can be both challenging and rewarding for all involved.  With controversy surrounding these interactions, the conference aims to focus on getting the relationship right between industry and academia.  With leading opinion leaders giving their perspective alongside discussions from those in industry tasked with forging these relationships, this conference is a must attend event.

Allowing for plenty of discussion within the programme this conference is unique in providing an ideal platform to obtain the building blocks needed for successful KOL interactions, whilst offering networking opportunities throughout the day.

Help to dispel some of the myths that blight the public perception of these relationships by participating in healthy debate and discussion about the way to move forward with these essential exchanges.

Why not attend the associated workshops as well?

Associated with the conference there will be two half-day workshops taking place on 28th September

  • Morning - Putting the Strategy into Opinion Leadership - Hosted by Rob Barker, Managing Partner, The Central Group
  • Afternoon - KOLs - From Identification to Management - Hosted by Anja Frommelt, KOL Management Project Consultant, Bayer Schering Pharma

Led by leaders in their field, these workshops are an excellent opportunity to explore in a more intimate and interactive setting issues which will be discussed at the conference. Subjects covered include KOL identification and ranking, opinion leader management, opinion leader strategy, segmentation, assessing spheres of influence and creating the opinion leader plan. To see more information about the workshops, please see the opinion leader workshops 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.
