Protein Therapeutics
12 September - 13 September 2001
Protein Therapeutics
The world-wide demand for innovative protein therapeutics is growing each year. The manufacturing industry for bulk protein production, is constantly faced with challenges and complications that delay the delivery of protein therapeutics to market. Disruptions to any part of the development process have both a time consuming and costly impact on the therapeutic production cycle.

Protein Therapeutics: New Developments in Manufacturing & Production will explore recent developments in protein manufacturing and production, including the impact of new expression technologies on the protein production process, and how these technologies may be utilised to reduce costs and improve yields. The conference will also provide you with key information about how biotechnology is bringing protein drugs to market. Senior executives will present strategies to improve the bio-availability and efficacy of protein drugs, and evaluate the key issues in choosing protein expression systems for bulk production.

Why should you attend this event? This comprehensive conference is organised and produced by SAE Media Group: we have identified protein manufacturing as a targeted sector for executives anxious to keep a close eye on industry development. As a key industry representative, you are aware of the need to keep updated on developments that will increase both your efficiency and productivity. SAE Media Group conferences are leading-edge business events offering delegates the opportunity to meet senior industry and government figures and seek their advice and opinions. The conference will of course also be an ideal opportunity for you to network with a focused and appropriate audience.

    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.
