Norfolk Hospital Joins Groundbreaking Generation Study Here at Maly IT, we’re really pleased to hear that our local Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) is taking part in the pioneering Generation Study. This national research project aims to transform how over 200 rare genetic conditions are diagnosed in newborns. The study will offer whole genome […]
Building upon Part 1’s exploration of product labelling as a defence against counterfeiting, this article (Part 2) delves into the intricate process of managing pharmaceutical labelling changes, crucial for compliance, minimising waste, and maintaining efficient supply chains across multiple markets. The seemingly simple act of changing a word or updating a logo on a pharmaceutical
Previously in Part 1, we identified examples from the bewildering array of different types of business process management tools. Let’s now explore some of the main challenges companies raise with these tools and how to overcome them. We’ll start with challenges directly related to the nature, adoption and use of these tools: 1. Complexity and
As businesses grow and mature they develop ever more processes that increase in length (number of steps), complexity (number of decision points & branches), actors (people required to interact with the process) and touchpoints (interactions with other data sets, applications or systems). Keeping track of and monitoring all of these processes as they grow and
The biopharmaceutical landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the increasing reliance on in silico simulations in drug discovery and therapeutics development. This computational approach offers a powerful tool for researchers. It allows for the prediction of drug-target interactions. Lead compounds can be optimised. The behaviour of molecules within biological systems can be simulated.
Credit: International Institute for Management Development (IMD) This February, I have decided to return to the topic of future readiness of pharmaceutical companies. It is a topic which has been gnawing away at me for well over a year, even before I first wrote about it (see Pulse 19 March 2024). Future readiness – a
Process innovation involves the introduction of new or significantly improved production techniques, equipment, or software, fundamentally changing how products are made. In advanced manufacturing, this can mean the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analytics to optimize operations & enhance productivity. Benefits include: Increased Productivity – By automating repetitive tasks & using advanced
Process compliance is crucial in new drug development and testing as it ensures that all regulatory requirements are met at each stage, from discovery to post-marketing surveillance. Compliance involves rigorous scientific research, data integrity, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and regulatory submissions such as the Clinical Trial Application (CTA) (Investigational New Drug –
A successful software project hinges on a strong partnership between the development team and the client. While the developer’s role is crucial, the client’s input and collaboration are equally important. So, what makes a good software client? Let’s explore the key qualities. Clear Communication and Expectations Collaboration and Partnership Decision-Making and Responsiveness Respect for Time
Our appetite for Fast Fashion is insatiable. Over half of the clothes we buy on the UK high street we’re made in very low income countries with workers paid as little as 13p per hour. Often those workers are effectively modern day slaves with many being children. And yet according to a recent poll 7
