Project Management for Pharmaceutical Professionals

The pharmaceutical industry and generics industry faces increasing pressure to research, develop and bring drugs to market in shorter timescales and within tighter budgets. This requires project-based skills outside one’s functional role including a different set of technical and interpersonal skills that can be applied to pharmaceutical projects. The FDA Critical Path initiative is also impacting on the importance of using project management for running pharmaceutical projects. We offer a great opportunity to share experiences and best practice with other pharmaceutical industry professionals.

Turning 'Theory' into 'Practice'?

This interactive course will build upon the foundations of project management methodology, technical tools and techniques and develop the essential people management and communication skills that are critical for ensuring the success of pharmaceutical projects. This course will enable you to apply practical project management techniques to your own pharmaceutical projects. Our Project Management training will be interactive and applicable to your daily project work. Participants are encouraged to bring a current real project to the programme to which they can apply the concepts and techniques, thus reaping the benefits immediately and enhancing the learning experience.

Who should attend?

This course has been specifically designed to address the needs of pharmaceutical professionals, biopharmaceutical professionals and those working for generic companies and who are, or will be, involved in pharmaceutical projects. The programme will be of benefit to both newly appointed project team leaders/managers as well as project team members aspiring to be project leaders.
