Event Overview

This 3-day forum is the “must attend” event for those senior decision-makers looking to drive their medical affairs teams and departments and enhance their KOL & stakeholder engagement at all levels.

The first day will feature several keynote presentations from VP-Level thought leaders on shaping and leading the medical affairs departments, justifying medical affairs performance through innovative metrics and tracking effectiveness of the function as an essential element of today’s pharmaceutical companies. They will be discussing the strategic drivers for medical affairs, and guidance on how to make best use of this vital function.

Day 2 of the Forum will feature 2 specific streams depending on your specific needs:

Stream 1:Real-World Evidence Generation for Medical Affairs – Generating real world evidence via observational studies and the use of patient registries is one of the fastest growing areas of pharmaceutical R&D. Such post-marketing studies are becoming increasingly important as regulatory agencies and payers demand more long-term data which demonstrates efficacy, safety and quality. The Medical Affairs unit plays a decisive role in generating this vital evidence and this stream will present solutions to the challenges companies face in generating high-quality evidence which will communicate a compelling value argument to all necessary stakeholders.

Stream 2:Enhancing Medical Communications for Medical Affairs – Medical Affairs departments are increasingly looking to implement next generation medical communication practices, to offer essential evidence-based information to stakeholders on demand, through a variety of classical, yet also increasingly digital channels. This stream will focus on two key aspects of medical communication. Firstly, issues such as: protocol writing for internal late-phase studies and research initiatives; working with External Experts (KOLs) to enhance publications, abstracts & posters and receiving proposals for investigator-initiated studies. The second section of this day will focus on Medical Scientific Marketing communications, including the review process, compliance issues, ensuring the claims made by marketing colleagues are justified and appropriately communicated and also effectively localized from global-level to country-level market requirements.

Day 3: Best Practices in Medical Science Liaison – This day will feature best practice case studies on structuring, managing, and monitoring the evolving Medical Science Liaison role within your organisation. This meeting is an ideal chance to benchmark with other market leaders in this field who are utilising the unique MSL function to more effectively communicate with external experts, engage them with advanced science and demonstrate product evidence. All attending will discovery how MSLs can help regain the credibility of the pharmaceutical industry as a value-adding partner to the healthcare ecosystem.

Along with our exclusive networking dinner for all participants, the event will feature excellent networking opportunities and the chance to strengthen your contacts within the Medical Affairs community. The 2017 event was a sell-out so please make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.
We look forward to meeting you in London!
