Phase IV to Market Conference
24 May - 25 May 2006
Phase IV to Market Conference
Devising a well-constructed approach to Phase IV studies can be challenging. In today’s heavily regulated market the task is to meet and combine safety and clinical goals with regulatory compliance while achieving your company’s strategic objectives. While learning more about a drug’s side effects, long term risks and ‘real world’ results, attention must be made to accomplishing objectives in accordance with regulatory requirements and industry codes.
SAE Media Group’s Inaugural conference, Phase IV to Market will explore current perspectives and future trends in Phase IV study by introducing best practice advice on how to conduct Phase IV trials for clinical research and overcome key challenges while meeting your regulatory, clinical and strategic goals. Learn from the experts as they address current and future regulatory issues pertaining to the conduct of Phase IV studies including insights into what new regulations are being proposed, the impact on risk assessment, risk management programmes and compliance.
A panel of key industry experts from multiple companies and disciplines will share their experience, ideas and viewpoints on approaches to streamlining Phase IV trials and design, determining new indications for drugs going to market, implementing post-marketing surveillance and risk management strategies and the use and credibility of observational data in a post-market environment. Consideration will also be given to the use and application of pharmacoeconomics and patient reported outcomes (PRO’s) for clinical Phase IV and post-market entry. The conference will conclude by examining the development of an effective clinical plan and will provide insights into strategies to ensure your clinical plan meets strategic bjectives while adhering to regulatory requirements and industry guidelines.
·         PHASE IV STUDIES: Explore current perspectives and trends as we conduct an in-depth analysis of the increasing importance of Phase IV trials in clinical research
·         ACHIEVING REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: Learn more about a drug’s side effects, long term risks and ‘real world’ results while achieving your company’s strategic objectives while keeping in line with current and future regulation
·         STREAMLINING PHASE IV TRIALS: Hear from the experts as they discuss best practices for conducting current and future phase IV trials – building a strategy that achieves scientific credibility whilst maximising product exposure
·         INVESTIGATOR INITIATED STUDIES: Learn how to develop programme initiatives with a focus on strategy, responsibility and operations
·         PHASE IV AND RISK MANAGEMENT: Discover the merits of pre-approval risk management systems and strategies to support peri-approval RM plans
·         POST- MARKETING OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES: Key experts will provide insights into real-life clinical practice regarding safety, efficacy and patient drug compliance through the use of observational studies
·         PHARMACOECONOMICS AND PATIENT REPORTED OUTCOMES RESEARCH: Understand the application of Pharmacoeconomics and PRO’s for clinical Phase IV and post-market entry

    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.
