Course overview

Time is money. Clinical trials are complex and difficult to co-ordinate and manage. Invariably, most of the process work is painstakingly labour intensive. This places a stress on the clinical team and the sites who are always under pressure to hit “key” milestone dates which have been stipulated within the protocol. Software automation of several of the primary tasks can open a field of opportunity and savings for sponsors.

There will also be an opportunity to explore other notable areas of improvement and discuss available and/or upcoming solutions to build a better understanding of the automation technology landscape which can drive change. 

Browse our extensive selection of Life Sciences training courses for industry-leading insights into a range of topics. These include Medical Devices, IVDs, Biotech and Biopharma, Animal Health and Pharmaceutical training courses.
