Pre-Filled Syringes
19 January - 20 January 2011
Pre-Filled Syringes

SAE Media Group is pleased to announce its third annual conference on Pre-Filled Syringes, due to take place in London on Wednesday 19th & Thursday 20th January 2011.

About the conference

The global pre-filled syringe market has seen rapid growth in recent years with the development of new treatments and formulations to treat a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

The benefits of pre-filled syringes in increased patient compliance, market share and price premium are obvious - recent reports have estimated a total of 2 billion syringes being sold in 2009 with a total market size of up to US$2.5bn which is growing at 10-15% per year. Contributing to this growth are a number of factors including the rising number of injectable biotherapeutics, increasing patient/physician demands for convenient and safe containers, and spiralling healthcare costs which have led to a rising trend in drug self-administration and has introduced a range of naive users to parenteral drug delivery.

SAE Media Group's third annual conference on Pre-Filled Syringes will cover the current status of this industry and look beyond to the next generation of advanced injection devices in an interactive, case study led environment.

Get more from the conference - Join us for a drinks reception on day one, straight after the final presentation.  Network and socialise with the speakers and other delegates; ask questions, discuss ideas and plan partnerships over drinks and nibbles.

    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.
