Available on demand: Patient centricity 101 – How to create content that REALLY communicates

According to the European Commission and NIHR Clinical Research Network, between 2007 and 2011, delays for launching clinical trials rose by 90%. And with approximately one third of the clinical trial timeline spent in patient recruitment, delays in launching clinical trials will increase costs and drain resources.

As our industry moves to become fully and demonstrably patient centric, there is much focus on the materials and media which are often the key liaison with the patient populous. As important as what we are saying and where these conversations are taking place may be, it is only part of the conundrum. Developing, maintaining and managing content is a continuous challenge, made all the more taxing not only by strict internal deadlines but the cultural, linguistic and regulatory challenges that go hand in hand with managing global communications.

Working with our expert partner SDL, we present a live webinar which delivers insight and guidance on this topic, look in depth at one of the more traditional areas of patient liaison – trial recruitment – and bringing you advice from the 'frontline' on what works in tackling these content challenges.

On this webinar, we discuss:

•    How to develop patient-centric recruitment content that REALLY communicates
•    Best practices of how to handle the linguistic, cultural and regulatory challenges often faced with creating multilingual patient-centric content
•    How simple content management best practices can help you become more patient centric with your content
•    Recent case studies: we'll be discussing recent successes of global pharmaceutical businesses that have optimised and streamlined recruitment processes with relevant, accurate content development in the right language.

The live broadcast took place on Tuesday 23 February 2016 at 15.00 GMT (16.00 CET). To view the on-demand version, please click here or on the webinar widget below.
