Every year, major UK and European medical conferences such as ESMO, EURETINA, ERS and BSH bring an incredible opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to engage with HCPs and showcase their latest scientific data.
But with these opportunities come challenges for medical and marketing teams:
- Workload spikes as symposia, booth activities and HCP engagements occur simultaneously within a short period
- International colleagues often play a key role in event delivery but may require dedicated support to navigate ABPI Code requirements
- Compressed timelines for the review and approval of congress materials
- Overlapping leave and escalating demands can place considerable strain on internal medical resources
Why Conference Season Creates Bottlenecks
When conference season hits, internal medical teams are expected to:
- Review and approve various materials, including slides, posters and booth content
- Respond to real-time medical enquiries and healthcare stakeholder engagements
- Maintain compliance oversight, ensuring all activities meet ABPI standards
These demands can quickly outpace available internal resources. Without additional support, the combination of time pressure and increasing workload often leads to bottlenecks, delayed approvals and increased compliance risk.
