12:25 Legal Risk Mitigation & Minimisation Across Your Business

Issues across the business are inevitable, from the inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information through to adverse event reporting, patient interactions, manufacturing problems or product recall. Whilst some risks can be avoided, it is often the inappropriate handling of situations and panic responses made by a business that can cause the greatest damage.

Steps can be taken as a matter of good business practice to prevent or minimise business risk and exposure. With twelve years in house experience supporting business teams and functions within the pharmaceutical industry, Michelle talks through her insights and the practical steps she deems most effective.

The session will:

· Give practical examples of risk exposure;

· Cover steps that can be taken to more effectively handle issues when they arise; and

· Cover steps that can be taken to better prepare teams and prevent or minimise exposure.
