EFFECTIVE PRICING MODELS & CONTRACTS IN OUTSOURCED CLINICAL TRIALS - OCTOBER 2004

Out with the old and in with the new....................

ORION was pleased to launch its new conference stand at IIR’s ‘Effective Pricing Models & Contracts in Outsourced Clinical Trials’ conference which took place in London on 20th and 21st October. This is the first of many conferences which ORION plans to attend with this new stand over the coming months.

A diverse mix of ORION representatives (Project Managers, CRAs, and of course, Business Developers) attended the conference and also helped to man the stand, which we are pleased to say, assembled like clockwork, stood out from the crowd, and was also easy to dismantle and move on to the next venue! (as we were involved in its design you could accuse us of being a tiny bit biased………….)

The conference was of particular interest to the ORION Proposals and Contracts group as we learnt about the types of contracts that some sponsors had put into effect – sometimes to their gain, and sometimes to their disadvantage. If we learnt one thing from the conference, I think it’s this - we should stick to our current philosophy which is:

“To forge new collaborations with sponsors in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry; we should work under terms and conditions that enable us to meet fully, or exceed, our sponsors’ expectations,
thereby enhancing ORION’s reputation in the industry and enabling us to win repeat business.”
