Between Leadership and Dependence: Australia's HTA System Under Pressure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Australia occupies an unusual position in global pharmaceuticals. It is regarded as a leader in cost effectiveness assessment, and at the same time it depends on innovation funded largely elsewhere. What does that dual role mean for patient access and for the medicines that reach this market? In this episode of Cognitio, Tim Boyle presents a LifeSciences Australia Market Access Special Interest Group webinar featuring Ella O'Nuallain, a health economics and policy researcher now working at NSW H
What the Coroners Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every year in England and Wales, coroners write around 450 reports naming actions that could prevent future deaths. Roughly one in five involves a medicine.

In this episode of Cognitio, Professor Rory Wolfe of the Monash University Clinical Trial Centre and medical statistician Dr Alan Herschtal set out how biostatistics underpins that judgement, and why it belongs at the first planning meeting rather than the last. They cover why clinical development is staged the way it is, what a p value actually tells you and what it does not, why confidenc
Invisible, Essential and Overloaded: Rethinking Medical Operations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Medical operations teams are often essential to the work of medical affairs, yet much of their contribution remains unseen. At the same time, growing workloads, limited resources and constant interruptions can leave teams operating in a cycle of reactive support. In this episode of Cognitio, webinar convener Lee-Mai Pang speaks with Sanofi medical operations leader Menai Johnson about breaking that cycle. Drawing on a practical organisational example, they explore how accountability can graduall
