Controlled Release

Controlled-release products remain amongst the largest sectors for innovation, with worldwide revenues of US$29.5bn by 2017, as products mature and face patent expiration.  Advances in nanobiotechnology, drug delivery vehicles, and formulation science have created unique opportunities for the development of a new generation of controlled

SAE Media Group proudly presents its 9th annual Controlled-Release conference to be held in London on Wednesday 28th & Thursday 29th of March 2012. This conference continues SAE Media Group’s previous highly successful Controlled-Release events and offers the opportunity to keep up-to-date with the latest regulations, challenges and solutions that you need to know about for successful and cost-effective drug delivery. 

New for 2012, the conference focuses more on developments in hard-to-formulate areas.  Case studies by leading pharmaceutcal scientists include presentations on how chemistry and materials science are improving in-vivo stability, cellular and subcellular biorecognition and dissolution rate kinetics

Prolonging the functionality of active pharmaceutical ingredients to extend product life-cycles will feature clinical case studies from companies including GlaxoSAE Media GroupthKline, Lundbeck and Bristol-Myers Squibb.

    Antibodies for the brain: Looking past the blood-brain barrier

    Lois Lampson

    Lois Lampson, Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School

  • Antibodies are being used in many contexts that involve the brain.  Tumors, autoimmunity, neurodegenerative disorders, infection, and drug addiction are all examples.
  • Results are typically interpreted in terms of the blood-brain barrier, and much effort has gone into increasing delivery across it.  Yet, in many cases, the blood-brain barrier is not the main impediment.
  • The barrier itself is plastic, while other factors can also impede antibody access or function.  When antibody is beneficial, its site of action is not necessarily in the brain.
  • Antibody and barrier functions are not necessarily antagonistic.  Indeed, they can be complementary.
  • When antibody must act within the brain, antibody production or sustained release from within the brain is an attractive alternative to delivery across the blood-brain barrier.

    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.
