Only Medics Director, Spencer Marsh comments:
“The 2016 event was a huge success.
Over 50 physicians and industry professionals took part and contributed to the event. Via a series of presentations, workshops and dedicated networking sessions.
A number of globally recognised pharma companies were present and following the events successful introductions it looks as though a number of physicians will have a promising start to their careers within industry.”
Below is some feedback from clients and candidates who attended the conference.
Client:
“I really enjoyed the event, and more importantly it was extremely beneficial for anyone who has an interest in the industry who are entering fresh from the NHS. It gives them a really good understanding and great conceptual awareness of the main themes that are involved when being a medic within the Pharmaceutical industry.
Physician to Pharma also gives attendees a chance to discuss the job roles amongst their peers, particularly in the workshops that took place. Which for me provided some really stimulating interactions and encouraged conversations with some really insightful comments.
I have personally been really impressed with the content, themes and knowledge of the participants in both workshops organised today and I want to congratulate Only Medics on putting together this exceptionally well run, organised and targeted group of individuals. What the company has achieved is inspiring and I think it should continue for years to come.”
Candidate:
“My expectations of the conference were that I would be given guidance to prepare me for interviews and the application process for going into the pharmaceutical industry and I can happily say that the day more than enough lived up to those expectations as I feel a lot more confident about my transition into the industry.
I particularly liked the networking and role play aspects that took place, as I know many companies apply role playing activities to the selection process, which for me personally is very daunting. However, Physician to Pharma has given me a lot more confidence for that type of scenario.
I would 100% recommend Only Medics and the event, in my own experience I have never heard of an event quite like this. I had travelled from Ireland specifically for Physician to Pharma and the information and feedback I have received is second to none, as a new starter in the pharmaceutical industry, this is experience has been invaluable.”
