6th annual Clinical Trial Logistics Conference
/EINPresswire.com/ SMi present their 6th annual Clinical Trial Logistics event to be held in London on Tuesday 22nd & Wednesday 23rd of May 2012. This event continues a very successful and high quality series which integrates big Pharma and regulatory speakers to create a complete overview of the Clinical Trial Logistics field.
This year's event will address regulatory change, particularly for handling of temperature sensitive products, duties & taxes, planning a clinical trial, patient retention, label transactions, supply chain security, subcontractor selection & clinical trial logistics in emerging markets. This is achieved through a synthesis of case study presentations and topic analysis presenting by leading industry experts.
Planning and execution of a clinical trial is an expensive and time consuming undertaking which necessitates regular strategy review and highly organised preparation. This includes planning patient recruitment, selection of sub contractors and logistics providers & adapting to different duties and cultural considerations. With clinical trials needing to be planned on an ever more global scale, this particularly critical. This must also include contingency and emergency planning, how will your supply chain cope in case of natural disaster or any other unpredictable delay?
New for 2012: Clinical Trials Supply Chain. This year's event builds on the logistics basis to also analyse Clinical Trial Supply. Management of the supply chain is a vital consideration that must be factored in to any successfully planned and executed clinical trial.
Key Presentations from Pharmaceutical, Logistics and Regulatory Perspectives:

Understanding, Analysing and Preparing for Risk

• How should we assess risk and assign numerical value to it
• How to prioritise and prepare for risk
• Should we Treat, Tolerate, Transfer or Terminate?
