Introduction
Increasing the value and impact of clinical research
New models for the value-based pricing of pharmaceuticals are actively in development. Decision-makers in healthcare are increasingly using the highest quality scientific evidence to support clinical and health policy choices. It is imperative, more so than ever before, that everyone engaged in the design, conduct and analysis of clinical research focuses on the incorporation of measures that enhance its value and impact.
This conference brings together experts from across the UK’s clinical research community to explore the mechanisms by which this may be achieved.
The agenda and speakers will be announced shortly. Keep updated on the progress by following Events4Health on twitter.
