Are you part of a cross-functional team launching a new brand or indication in the next 12-18 months? If yes then previous course participants would recommend you and your cross-functional team participate in this Mastering Launch Excellence workshop to help make your launch a success!
Launching a new medicine has always been tough. Healthcare changes, a more cost-constrained environment not to mention the immediate and far-reaching implications of COVID-19 mean that launching a new medicine is getting tougher. Launch excellence is something that can make the difference between success and usage restriction. The skills, processes and understanding that drive launch excellence are a highly sought-after combination to maximise the investment made by healthcare companies and to enable the right patients to benefit from the medicines of today.
