Healthcare Webinars

This webinar will be discussing benefits of transforming elective care and surgical waiting lists from passive waiting lists to a proactive preparation process.The purpose of a preparation process is to actively involve patients in their healthcare journey. It serves to educate them during waiting periods by undertaking active engagement and communication, providing instructions for rehabilitation, updating them on their current status, and screening for potential risk factors.In April 2024, the NHS was targeted with determining their highest surgical priorities and implementing five core patient focused requirements:• Patients should undergo screening for perioperative risk factors as early as possible in the pathway.• Patients identified with risk factors for poor perioperative outcomes should receive proactive, personalised support to optimise their health before surgery.• Patients waiting for inpatient procedures should be contacted by their provider at least every three months to check if their health status has changed and how such changes will impact the need for surgery.• Patients waiting for inpatient procedures should only be given a date to come in for surgery after they have had a risk assessment and have been confirmed as fit for surgery.• Patients must be involved in shared decision-making conversations to discuss the benefits, risks, alternatives, and likely outcomes of the surgery, as well as the postoperative recovery period.Join this webinar if you want to learn how to change the elective and surgical waiting lists for a better patient outcome.Presenters: François Taljard - Consultant Anaesthetist, NHS Lanarkshire; Rowan Pritchard-Jones - Executive Medical Director Cheshire & Merseyside ICS, NHS Cheshire & Merseyside; Anil Vara - Associate Director for Elective Access, Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.

This webinar will explore the latest trends in the clinical trial industry, emphasizing direct-to-patient trial strategies and their impact on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Reaching marginalized communities is a critical component for fulfilling study enrollment, yet these communities often face unique challenges.One significant hurdle is the financial burden placed on patients due to the leveraging of patient insurance, which can hinder study enrollment and impact efforts to improve clinical trial diversity in the United States. Current industry trends are centered on patient-centric approaches such as DEI, accelerated start-up timelines and decentralized clinical trials.Prioritizing patient-centricity can significantly enhance patient experience and enrollment, leading to more successful clinical trials. In addition, as clinical trial sites manage numerous studies simultaneously, it is essential to develop supply strategies that simplify the management of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) and non-IMPs (NIMPs).This webinar will dive into how patient-centric supply strategies can address these complexities, improve trial efficiency and support clinical trial diversity. Through case studies, the featured speakers will examine various sourcing options for sponsors, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks for sponsors, patients and sites. Additionally, the discussion will cover how comparator drug supply vendors handle complex trial designs and access to specialty drugs, ensuring that patient needs are met efficiently.Register for this webinar to learn about innovative, on-demand local sourcing solutions, methods to minimize cost and waste in clinical trials and how clinical trial diversity can benefit both sites and patients.Who Should Attend?This webinar will appeal to professionals in the following fields:Vendor Managers/Clinical Vendors ManagerClinical Trial Operations/Supplies Management/Supply ConsultantClinical Trial Comparator Managers/Clinical Trial Sourcing ManagersClinical Supply PlanningStrategy Lead Comparator ManagersClinical Trial ManagersClinical research organisationsWhat You Will LearnAttendees will gain insights into:How direct-to-patient strategies and patient-centric supply chain solutions can enhance clinical trial diversityHow patient centricity can significantly enhance patient experience and enrollmentThe challenges of leveraging patient insurance and how innovative approaches can alleviate financial burdensSpeakers: Samit Bhatt - Vice President, Clinical Trial Patient Solutions, Myonex; Todd Luckritz - Associate Director, Clinical Trial Patient Solutions, Myonex.
