In the October issue of PME we hear from Novo Nordisk’s Klaus Henning Jensen, who explains how the medical affairs function has had to change to become more market-focused.
And Boehringer Ingelheim’s Albert van Eijk discusses the digital elements of some of his company’s multichannel efforts – setting us up to examine new research into doctors’ use of digital technology and then look at new figures for the more traditional area of print advertising.
The October issue is available to view online now, but if you don’t currently receive PME on a regular basis you can subscribe to the print or digital edition – or keep up with pharma news on a more regular basis via our PMLiVE Daily or Weekly email newsletters.
