Diabetes

Diabetes represents a large and growing unmet medical need, with more than 194 million people worldwide afflicted by the disease. New technologies and drug classes for the treatment of diabetes are continuously being developed and as a result the market is brimming with opportunities and increased competition.

In our 7th Annual conference, SAE Media Group will bring together, once again, leading industry experts to discuss current movements and projections in the market, challenges and limitations of existing therapies and pipeline activities, with a focus on the opportunities for new and innovative treatments. You will hear the latest case studies from leading companies in the field, discussing their R&D activities and potential market launches. Learning how to be successful in this competitive market, this conference will provide you with an analysis of new drug classes and targets in development including, GLP1 agonists, DPP4 inhibitors, TZD’s and new approaches to insulin resistance and delivery. As current blockbuster drugs approach their patent expiry, this conference will include presentations from industry, academia and specialist companies as they discuss the future of diabetes treatment.

A unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts including:

  • Dr Cynthia Arbeeny, Vice President, Endocrine & Metabolic Diseases, Genzyme
  • Dr Richard Carr, Vice President, Discovery Management, Novo Nordisk
  • Dr Sekhar Boddupalli, Vice President, Discovery, Galileo Pharmaceuticals

    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.
