Understanding and Interpreting Studies using Real-World Data

Tuesday 22 October 2024
09:30 - 17:00 (GMT)

Evidence generated from clinical observational studies, outside of clinical trials, known as real world evidence (RWE), is increasingly used to inform decision-making surrounding the use of medicines. The application of RWE is modernising the process of drug discovery, development, post-authorisation safety and effectiveness and outcomes research. The potential for the use of RWE throughout the entire lifecycle of medicines continues to grow.

This 1-day course aims to provide an introduction to RWE studies in the context of pharmaceutical medicine.

This 1-day course is delivered by DSRU for FPM.

What will we cover?

  • Basic principles and value of real-world data in pharmaceutical medicine and research
  • Strengths and challenges of using real world evidence and its use in medical research
  • Real world evidence in drug safety
  • Current and future applications of real-world evidence

Who should attend?

This full-day course will be introductory; no pre-requisites are required. It is suitable for:

  • Pharmaceutical physicians working in the field of pharmaceutical medicine
  • Those working in pharmaceutical industry without medical / life sciences backgrounds
