Webinar Overview
Patient centricity has become something of a buzz phrase over the last few years. However, behind the name lies a concept that offers real value. During this webinar, these benefits will be discussed, highlighting:
- Results from recent research that quantifies the positive business impact to sponsors by taking a patient centric approach
- Exploration of real examples where the patient has benefited from being put at the heart of clinical research
- Advantages experienced by sites when patients are central to study planning and implementation
This informative session will arm you with data and examples to take to your own organization to support the build and growth of patient centric practices. In addition, a collaborative discussion about the future of patient centricity and its effect on the industry will complete the webinar.
Moreover, the webinar will provide practical examples on how to involve children in clinical trials.
A child-friendly approach is necessary not only in the daily clinical practice, but throughout the research and development process, from setting research priorities, involvement in research design and planning, research conduct through to dissemination and communicating research findings. In case of studies involving children, age-tailored information booklets, assent forms and summaries of the results should be written in age appropriate, simple and understandable language to ensure ease reading by parents and children. Moreover, the investigators should obtain agreement from the child in addition to informed consent of the parents, even when this agreement is not mandatory by law.
An innovative approach for the patients’ involvement in paediatric clinical research is represented by the Young Persons Advisory Groups, an organization composed of youths, patients and carers actively participating in clinical research and advising researchers and their teams.
