WEBINAR: Ensuring your Clinical Trial helps you to sell your products
2020-11-25 11:00 - 12:00
Join this webinar to hear from Afortori Development and Pym’s Consultancy, on tips and advice for ensuring your Clinical Trial helps you to sell your products.
The reason for conducting trials is to validate your product or service so that you can enter the market or increase sales.
Before you start planning your trial you need to establish what your long term goals are, and then how evidence and validation will help you reach those goals. In this way your research and development strategy is embedded into your overall business strategy – in short every element of your business complements the others and your company has a clear road map for the future helping you to maximise your return on investment in all parts of the business.
In the sales process a successful trial starts as a talking point, delivers evidence to support your sales pitch, and validates your product to the wider NHS environment, broadening your reach into the market.
Attend to learn about the above and take the opportunity to get your questions answered by the experts.

CANCELLED Webinar: GDPR implications for international personal data transfers
2020-12-01 11:00 - 12:00
We have unfortunately had to cancel this webinar due to circumstances beyond our control. We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience.
Earlier this year, the European Court of Justice struck down the US Privacy Shield, and although it focused on EU-US data transfers, the ruling has caused widespread aftershocks for international personal data transfers within the EEA. International group companies using personal data, or even non-international organisations which are using Cloud or other service providers in non-EEA countries (such as India or elsewhere), need to be aware of the implications arising from the ruling.
For life sciences businesses, the kinds of data that may be affected could be data about individual patients and their treatment, clinical trial data and information about staff, research colleagues and physicians. Organisations have become so used to working digitally that they may not even fully appreciate when international data transfers are taking place.
Jagvinder Singh Kang, International and UK Head of IT Law (CIPP/E, CIPM) at Mills & Reeve considers what steps you can take to protect your organisation following the ruling.
This webinar will be relevant to all organisations involved in international personal data transfers from within the EEA, whether to group companies, service providers or other organisations.
There will also be an opportunity to ask the presenters questions, when Jagvinder will be joined for a Q&A session by specialist Life Sciences Lawyer, Stephanie Caird.
DURATION: 1 hour
Please note that due to privacy restrictions this webinar will NOT be recorded and the presentation slides will not be available to download.
This free to attend webinar will be held as part of the INSTILS programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. For further details please click here.

WEBINAR: The Medicines and Medical Devices Bill - the UK regulatory environment following Brexit
2020-12-01 11:00 - 12:00
Join Mills & Reeve for this webinar where we will discuss the Medicines and Medical Devices Bill – the UK regulatory environment following Brexit.
As the end of the Brexit transition period approaches we see UK Government making plans to move forward as a standalone regulatory system. A central plank of these plans is the Medicines and Medical Devices Bill. This was published in February, and is making its way through the Parliamentary process. Although existing EU law will be brought over into the UK system from 1 January 2021, the Bill gives broad powers to the Health Minister to develop the law to fit UK priorities. Promoting fast-track approval of innovative medicines and technologies and reducing red tape, as well as promoting UK-based industry, will take on greater importance.
For medical devices, the situation is made more complex by the forthcoming full implementation of the new EU regulations on medical devices and in vitro diagnostics. Likewise, the EU clinical trials system is yet to be rolled out pending completion of the EMA’s new portal and database. The UK will have to decide how closely to track these systems, while, of course, adopting its own administrative structures to implement them.
During this webinar we will review the latest position, and consider likely outcomes for the UK regulatory environment.
There will also be an opportunity to ask the presenters questions.
