ENHANCING LIVES THROUGH DIALYSIS CARE ▸ In Australia, over 15,000 people rely on dialysis to manage chronic kidney disease and related health conditions. Dialysis is not just a medical procedure for these patients — it's a lifeline that maintains their quality of life. 💓 🔍 THE CHALLENGE: Managing dialysis isn't just about the procedure; it involves ensuring a continuous and precise supply of both prescription and over-the-counter medications. Any disruption in the medication supply chain can severely affect patient health, highlighting the need for reliable management. 🤝 A PATIENT-CENTRIC SOLUTION: Akesa and The Pharmacy Common supported the launch of a managed access program to enhance dialysis patient care by delivering medications directly to patients' homes. According to experienced pharmacist May Mitropoulos, the approach reduced the burden of travel, allowing patients to receive treatment in comfort and privacy, with the help of visiting nurses. 🔗 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/gy-TYBtT For more insights into Akesa's innovative approach to dialysis care, download the PDF or visit akesagroup.com. 🌐 #DialysisCare #PatientCentric #HealthcareInnovation #ManagedAccessPrograms

SOURCING STRATEGIES ▸ How do you decide between central and in-country sourcing for pharmaceuticals in clinical trials? This crucial decision impacts the efficiency, cost, and success of your trial. While no two trials are alike, here's some key points to consider when evaluating central sourcing vs. in-country sourcing: 💡 CENTRAL SOURCING: ✔️ Pros: Greater consistency and quality control, streamlined logistics, cost efficiency through bulk purchasing, and increased adherence to regulatory compliance. ✖️ Cons: Longer lead times due to international shipping, dependency on a single supplier, and increased shipping costs. 🌍 IN-COUNTRY SOURCING: ✔️ Pros: Faster supply chains with reduced lead times, lower shipping costs, regulatory familiarity, and enhanced flexibility in responding to trial needs. ✖️ Cons: Variable quality control across suppliers for multi-country studies, limited supplier options, coordination challenges with multiple suppliers, and regulatory variability in multi-country trials. Choosing the optimal sourcing strategy depends on the specific needs and constraints of your trial. 📚 Learn more about central and in-country sourcing in this article by Karen Montgomery-Douglas: https://lnkd.in/gMNzU4Ez #ClinicalTrials #Pharmaceuticals #SupplyChain
