The event will be held in London on Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd of May 2012 and provides the most thorough appraisal and analysis of the clinical trial process.
Hear presentations from the big Pharma, regulatory and logistical perspectives. This provides a balanced and in depth analysis into the management and execution of clinical trials. Attendees will take away a keen understanding of core topics such as vendor partnering & selection, relationship management and transport validation studies. This year, they will also learn more about the logistics of maintaining and completing a clinical trial through studies in patient recruitment and retention and site selection, as well as risk management. This will give delegates a greater understanding of how their role in the Clinical Trial process fits in to the bigger picture and organisation of the endeavour.
This year we will be focusing on how to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness in your clinical supply chain. Presentations on Shipping validation, transportation studies, timely delivery of clinical trials & understanding and analysis of risk will help you to address any weaknesses in your supply chain, but more importantly, to build on your strengths. In keeping with this, presentations on potential challenges posed by the Olympics and distribution strategy for a virtual company provide unique focus to the discussion.
