The challenging economic times have lead to a critical review of all clinical development programs, and change the nature of clinical trials considerably. Companies are being forced to critically re-assess their core competencies, and an increasing amount of emphasis is being put on research cost-effectiveness, outsourcing services from developing countries, and creativity in study design.

Clinical research is a multi-billion dollar business and the major challenge for pharmaceutical companies in the next 5 years is to maintain high growth rates, and understand how this market will change in the future, and what impact this will have on future business opportunities.

 

Participants will have the opportunity to share their experience and knowledge, and explore the range of hurdles and issues that contribute to many of the challenges being faced in clinical drug development today. Participants will learn and network with top industry leaders and peers and from all areas of clinical trials.

 

This programme will feature presentations and case studies from industry experts, and will provide an interactive learning opportunity. Your attendance is a must if you wish to remain up to date with the most complex of markets.
