In current environment bank profitability is under heavy pressure, especially in Europe. Negative interest rates, flat interest curve, heavy investment needed for digitalization, competition from Fintechs… this is leading bank profitability to historically low levels, and valuations are also suffering since several years.

This means that there will be a major cost-saving potential for the healthcare systems by the introduction of Biosimilar competition. New therapeutic options are opened for the treatment of severe medical conditions and it is obvious that this product category will become even more important in the future.
This course is intended to go through the complete roadmap that leads to the immense universe of Artificial Intelligence. It starts from ground zero, a quick overview of basic statistics and data analysis, pillars upon which both “supervised” and “unsupervised” Machine Learning evolved and became at their turn the inevitable backbone for all Artificial Intelligence algorithms behind successful AI applications.

As Europe moves to the new Medical Device Regulations, software is recognised throughout the General Safety and Performance Requirements. It has its own rules in classification, whether it is software as a medical device or software as the driver of a medical device. Software has come to the attention of the regulators as a serious source of risk and benefit. This sequence of seminars aims to help those involved in medical device software to understand intricacies of the regulatory burden and how early adoption of the solutions minimises both the costs and time to market.
This course is intended to take a practical and risk-based approach to integrated AIQ and CSV. Instead of automating the status quo any laboratory process should be mapped and redesigned for electronic working by removing spreadsheets and paper printouts. To achieve this requires the implementation of applications that are technically compliant.
The Leadership in Safety In-house Training is based upon our multi-award winning Leadership programme, reconfigured to meet the needs of business as a consequence of the Global Coronavirus Pandemic. The virtual workshop takes the lessons and tools shared within our ‘classical’ classroom workshop environment and reinterprets them into an innovative and highly engaging online experience in which guests are able to critically consider the issues that support the emergence of a robust safety culture and the actions that safety leaders can take to support this.
Conflicts, mostly resulting from different approaches and priorities, can have negative impact on business processes even outside the R&D or GMP areas. R&D needs flexibility and should not be over-regulated, whereas GMP concentrates on standardization and high throughput. On the other hand, R&D has to create a solid and robust fundament to enable manufacturing and quality control to work according to established and efficient procedures.
The training aims to generate a common understanding of how to best interlink these two areas and create highly efficient processes from product development to routine manufacturing of generic pharmaceutical products.
Over the past decade, implementing disclosure and data transparency policies and procedures in clinical trials has become an essential requirement for anyone working in this area. Most of the major pharmaceutical companies have already established transparency policies, spontaneously giving the possibility to access the data collected during their clinical trials to anyone who requests it; at the same time, regulatory agencies such as European Regulatory Agency Policy (EMA), FDA, and the International Committee of Medical Journal The editors (ICMJE) have made the effective management and publication of data collected in clinical trials mandatory.
This workshop aims to provide practical tools to manage new requests proactively and effectively in terms of data transparency in clinical trials, producing benefits that go beyond compliance with the rules.
This two-day course covers HPLC theory, troubleshooting and method development. Content can be tailored to the client’s requirements and a hands-on, practical element may be included if desired.
With an ever increasing regulatory and compliance burden faced by the Pharmaceutical industry, Blockchain is an ideal candidate to address issued across supply chain, clinical trials and R&D. This is happening already with several firms already exploring and developing solutions. This masterclass looks at the technology, the opportunities it offers, the risks and issues to be considered and provides a series of frameworks to determine if blockchain is a good option, how to establish the technology as part of an organisation strategy and how to create a business case.
About 90% of project management training is about tools and techniques,
however most of the job is dealing with the various stakeholders involved
in your projects. This series of three master classes are all linked by the
engagement of the stakeholders in your projects. Day 1 looks a risk analysis
and alongside the traditional view we also look at the risks associated with
stakeholder behaviour. Day 2 focuses on the measurement of project progress,
but goes beyond the constraints of the iron triangle i.e. are we on budget, on
time and with the required quality, to consider the human interactions. Day 3
concentrates on stakeholder engagement and making sure that we understand
who the key stake holders are and how we can motivate them.
The In vitro Medical Devices Directive has been the route to CE marking of in vitro medical
devices in Europe since 2002. In 2017 the new In Vitro Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR)
was published and comes into force in May 2022. From this moment all IVDs must comply
with the new IVDR. At the moment around 20% of IVDs require notified body intervention
prior to be being placed on the market, under the new regulation this will increase to around
85%. The new regulation has many more requirements than the current directive and whilst
most are not going to prove ‘difficult ‘ to implement, there is much to do in the time left
available. The aim of this event is to provide all those involved with IVDs a broad overview
of the IVDR with practical guidance to navigating the additions and expectations of the law.
