SUMMARY:Workshop on Improving the Administration of Paediatric Oral Liquid Medicines using Dosing Syringes and Enteral Accessories
DESCRIPTION:The EuPFI is inviting expressions of interest in a workshop to be held on 11thSeptember 2018 at University College London (UCL) School of Pharmacy premises\, to identify and discuss challenges and potential improvements in the development\, control and utilization of oral dosing syringes and enteral accessories for paediatric liquid medicines. \nAlthough oral liquids are acceptable for the whole paediatric age range (birth to 18 years)\, a key challenge with their administration is to ensure the correct dose is measured. The oral syringe is considered to be the measuring device of choice\, with high dosing accuracy and uniformity\, especially when small volumes are required. However\, dose variability may occur where oral syringes are not suitable for the specific drug product and dose being administered\, leading to under dosing with diminished treatment efficacy or overdosing with potential for toxic effects. \nWhere a dosing syringe is supplied with a specific medicine\, the pharmaceutical product licence holder ensures the acceptability of its dosing accuracy in line with Regulatory requirements\, however deviations in dosing accuracy may occur when “off-the-shelf” dosing syringes are used for the measurement of small volumes. In addition\, it may be necessary to use several adaptors to accurately measure and administer medication in clinical practice which can be challenging and potentially lead to dosing errors. Furthermore\, the provision of multiple oral syringes for different products which may have different units of measure and/or graduations to patients for domiciliary use can cause confusion. \nThe aim of the workshop is to facilitate the establishment of an optimal path towards the correct oral dosing of all paediatric patients with dosing syringes and enteral accessories\, that meets the requirements of all stakeholders involved (Patients\, Regulators\, Practitioners and Industry). \nA broad range of stakeholders\, including patients/caregivers\, healthcare professionals and representatives from the pharmaceutical industry\, drug delivery device suppliers and academia\, are invited to the workshop as well as representatives from national competent authorities and EU institutions. \nThe workshop will include presentations from keynote speakers and break-out sessions for discussion on specific topics. \nClick here to complete and submit form for expression of interest to attend the workshop. The form should be submitted by 20thJuly 2018. \nPlaces are limited and will be allocated to ensure a fair representation of all stakeholder groups and organisations\, and so please do not book travel arrangements until your attendance has been confirmed. \nA report of the workshop\, the action plan and presentations from the workshop will be published on this website.

SUMMARY:Preparing your NHS Business Case
DESCRIPTION:This interactive and informative event on ‘Preparing your NHS Business Case’ will enable you to prepare better business cases with input from NHS staff. \nThis free to attend event is being held as part of the SoLSTICE programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund\, click here to be re-directed to further information about the project. \nDuring the event you will also learn about: \n– What is a business case\, what is its purpose and why it is so important? \n– Who reviews the business case and how are they evaluated from a commissioning point of view? \n– How to construct a good business case \nThe Challenge as a supplier to the NHS is often that when you have a product which from your perspective improves patient outcomes and saves cost you still cannot get it adopted by the NHS. This is often because there is not a fully developed business case\, without this a group within the NHS interested in taking on board a new product or service are unlikely to get approval of the case for change before procurement of the innovation can proceed. \nOrganisations that supply to the NHS are often challenged by the process\, timescales\, evidence and documentary requirements. This can often seem like an unnecessary complication\, or simply a reason to not issue a purchase order. A good business case is fundamental to successful adoption and developing a long term business partnership. Preparing the business case can also be difficult for your NHS contacts because they are busy or not experienced in their preparation and often even more difficult for companies with little or no experience of the process. \nProgramme\nSpeaker Profiles\nDelegate List \n
