We’re seeking a new Chair of the New Technologies Expert Group
Posted on: Wednesday 12 February 2025
FPM is seeking a Chair to lead its New Technologies Expert Group. This group explores the impact of emerging technologies on pharmaceutical medicine, covering discovery, development, regulation, and vigilance processes.
Key areas of focus include external therapeutic devices (e.g., mechanical ventilators), implantable devices, in vitro diagnostics (particularly novel molecular and companion diagnostics), wearable technologies, and digital therapeutics (e.g., apps supporting behavioural interventions). While there is some overlap with eHealth, it is not a core focus of the group. Additionally, the group examines how innovations in these areas influence traditional medicines.
As Chair, you will drive the group’s work through report writing, stakeholder engagement, consultation responses, and more, shaping the future of pharmaceutical technology.
Closing date for applications: 17:00 (UK time) on Friday 28 February 2025
