18 February - 19 February 2004
Pharmacoeconomics & Outcomes Research
Following the success of SAE Media Group’s 2003 Conference, this event will address the continuing difficulties Biopharmaceutical companies are experiencing in getting biological products to the market place and will look at how the industry should cope with the recent slow down and the pressures to keep pipelines full.

This contentious area is highly regulated with different standards and expectations in different parts of the globe. The event will evaluate today’s regulations including current best practice, consequences of non-compliance, validation programmes and an update on regulation in the industry, including the FDA’s view on risk assessment and risk management.

The difficulties companies are experiencing in preclinical and clinical development will be discussed with an emphasis on overcoming the hurdles of immunogenicity testing and discussion on why clinical development times in this sector have slowed.

In general there is currently a huge bottleneck in production with companies having to choose between contracting out or going it alone. This event will feature an update on disposable technology in the manufacture of biologics, as well address the difficulties associated with manufacturing capacity and the challenges of scale-up in the biopharmaceutical industry.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts including:
Dr Mark Ratcliffe, Director, European Health Outcomes Research, Eli Lilly
Phil Sarocco, Director, Health Outcomes, Aventis
Dr Cristina Espinosa, Head, Health Economics & Outcomes Research, Novartis
Dr Sanjay Gupta, Senior Director & Head, Global Health Outcomes, Millennium
Peter Conway, Head, Health Economics, Wyeth
Jim Brown, Value Demonstration Leader, AstraZeneca
Dr Rick Berzon, Director, Corporate Market Access, Pricing & Outcomes Research, Boehringer Ingelheim
John Hutton, Vice President, European Operations, MEDTAP International

and is the essential event on:

    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.
