Clinical Trials and Data Management
29 September - 30 September 2003
Clinical Trials and Data Management
Failure to efficiently manage data in clinical trials results in loss of revenue and increased delays. In addition to this, poorly managed clinical trials may compromise patient safety and the overall validity of data. SAE Media Group has identified the need to provide a forum which will address how best to avoid these problems and subsequently increasing the potential of the trial.

The multinational nature of the pharmaceutical industry and the rapid changes within global technology mean that drug development has become an expensive and lengthy process. Pharmaceutical companies are constantly looking for ways to reduce costs and hasten the process. Recent technological advances within clinical trials research and the data management process, need to be assessed for their ease of implementation and utility, and to determine their efficacy in the clinical trials process.

Clinical Trials & Data Management will address the current data management techniques employed in clinical trials, including the impact of new technological advances in information technology on the clinical trial process. The use of computer models and the real impact of electronic data management on the ease and quality of clinical trial data will also be discussed. Practicalities of managing multinational clinical trials will also be discussed, with an emphasis on regulatory issues and the intellectual property rights involved in global management of clinical trials.

A unique opportunity to learn from leading industry experts including:
· Dr Charles Jaffe, Director, Medical Informatics, AstraZeneca
· Dr François Peterlongo, Head, Data Standards & Services, Aventis
· Hani Kamel, Quality & Security Advisor, Novo Nordisk
· Selina Sibbald, Development Director, Quintiles

    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.

    CPD Certificates

    We can provide a certificate for all our accredited events. To request a CPD certificate for a conference , workshop, master classes you have attended please email events@saemediagroup.com
