Brexit reached a significant milestone at the end of January 2023 - three years since the United Kingdom left the European Union. Whilst we’ll be debating its relative merits and pitfalls for decades to come, here in the pharmaceutical industry we can perhaps offer our own litmus test.

The NHS needs digital solutions to help the staffing crisis. A digital-first approach is critical and NHS organisations require the resources, hours and return on investment. An AI-powered automation and customer engagement platform that can integrate with legacy and external systems is an opportunity to deliver the change needed to ease the burden on healthcare workers. Nigel Hall, Director of Client Health Solutions at Netcall explores the benefits patients will gain from digital support and how a suite of technologies can work with workers.
Recent ambulance strikes reflect greater issues across the National Health Service (NHS). Last year, staff were quitting at a record rate of 400 per week. Stress, lack of work-life balance and insufficient pay are reportedly driving nurses to quit in…

Electroplating intermediate is an additive material for electroplating modification in terms of grain size, gloss, thickness, and plating speed.
Electroplating intermediates refer to a class of fine chemicals used as electroplating additives. Unlike the salt used in the plating production process, the electroplating intermediate is an additive material for electroplating modification in terms of grain size, gloss, thickness, and plating speed. How Can Electroplating Intermediates be Classified? According to the different plating types, electroplating intermediates can be divided into nickel plating intermediates, copper plating intermediates, tin plating intermediates, gold plating intermediates, silver plating intermediates, etc. Meanwhile, according to different functions, electropla…

Unlike your CV that lists out your skills, qualifications, and experiences, your cover letter should highlight how you’ve put those to use, and the results you’ve produced from this. It should be tailored to each role you apply for, ensuring the achievements you mention match the essential requirements in the job description. In this article, we’ve outlined everything you should include in your cover letter as well as a structure to follow to ensure your letter is clear and concise.
When applying for your next pharmaceutical or life science job, your cover letter will be a big part of how you differentiate yourself from your peers. This is your opportunity to put together a compelling argument for why you are the ideal candidate, and what you could bring to the role that others couldn’t. Ac…

The biotech industry is a large and growing field with many opportunities for those who want to pursue it professionally. The growth of this industry has been rapid in recent years, with more than 200 new products being marketed every year. In this article, we will look at the current trends in the industry and discuss how they affect marketers and consumers.
What is Biotechnology? Biotechnology is the application of biological processes and materials, including biochemistry, microbiology and molecular biology. Nobel-prize-winning chemist George Wald coined the term in 1949. Biotechnology is not the same as traditional biochemistry: it encompasses a diverse range of techniques we can use for industrial processing and research purposes. For example, it includes processes such as recombin…

There are both large and small ADC molecules. A variety of biological analysis methods and platforms are needed to analyze the diversity of ADCs. Conventional LC-MS/MS small-molecule assays are often used to analyze uncoupled payloads and DAR distributions over time, while ligand binding assays (LBA) and LC-MS/MS can also be used to analyze total antibodies (TAb) and total ADCs. The choice of analysis platform depends on the availability of key reagents, the required analytical sensitivity, and the different problems that need to be addressed at various stages of drug development. In this article, the classical LBA and LC-MS/MS methods for quantitative analysis of ADC components are briefly introduced.

Santosh Sahu, CEO and founder of Charac, discusses the importance of digital transformation in keeping pharmacies afloat
With health services across the country under severe pressure, community pharmacies are finding themselves on the brink. Over 400 pharmacies closed in the last year[1], with one in ten chemist shops closing since 2015. Unless something is done, even more pharmacies are forecast to shut down. As pharmacies are built to function as the first point of contact for people looking for healthcare advice, it is crucial that they are given the necessary support to fulfil such a role. Pharmacy troubles Analysts have recently revealed that pharmacies are suffering a £67,500 annual shortfall due to a lack of government funding in line with economic growth[2].

Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are never straightforward. Bringing together different systems and processes, from HR and payroll, to finance and commercial can take months - and in some cases years - to prepare and put into action. Imagine then the sheer scale of combining a patchwork of IT infrastructures and, with them, the data storage solutions that keep organisations functioning effectively and securely.

Probiotics are a type of active microorganisms that play a role by improving the balance of the host's intestinal microflora. They can produce definite health effects to improve the host's microecological balance and play a beneficial role. In 2001, the World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) also defined probiotics as follows: Live bacteria that can play an effective role in the health of consumers by ingesting an appropriate amount. Bacteria or fungi in humans and animals mainly include: Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Actinomycetes, Yeasts, etc.

Serum enzyme tests have been used in clinical practice for a long time, such as increased amylase activity in serum and urine of patients with acute pancreatitis. In the 1930s, some scholars reported that the determination of serum lipase and alkaline phosphatase activities is helpful for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and bone diseases, respectively.

In this article Jon Geater, chief technology officer at RKVST, introduces a new acronym, SCITT, provides some explanation and discusses why it is important for the pharmaceutical industry.
What is SCITT? While it may be yet another term you might not have heard of, it’s sure to become more familiar to pharmaceutical industry players as we strive to ensure traceability, accountability, and auditability across the supply chain. The term SCITT stands for ‘Supply Chain Integrity, Transparency, and Trust’. While there’s ongoing discussion over its scope and definition, at its core, it’s pretty simple: risk vests in the operator of equipment but originates at every point in the supply chain. If pharmaceutical companies and other players in the pharma supply chain are to take control of, and res…

In-house legal teams are an indispensable resource to a business, especially in heavily IP-driven sectors such as life sciences and pharmaceuticals. The current economic choppy waters mean having talented legal brains in the boardroom to tackle a range of business-critical decisions is more important than ever. However, against this challenging backdrop, how can pharma companies compete with the pay wars being waged by law firms to lure talented lawyers in-house?

One cause of burnout amongst employees is hidden overwork, a trend that is becoming more prevalent with the current economic climate which is putting many workers under increasing amounts of pressure to perform well at work. In this article, we look at what hidden overwork really looks like, how it may be impacting life science employees, and what employers can do to help.
Burnout amongst workers is on the rise, with 38% of people in a 2022 study experiencing burnout at work, reporting feelings of exhaustion, reduced efficacy, and cynicism. Burnout has become particularly challenging for remote workers, with the same study finding that those working from home more than 80% of the time are the group most likely to experience this, with this group also receiving the lowest level of organisati…
