Interview with Alex Godwood and Gabriel Glencross

The Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) gives the delegates a taste of life across the pharmaceutical industry from early drug discovery to marketing, from CRO to Big Pharma and across the UK and continental Europe. The course aims to show the delegates the breadth and depth of work that goes on the industry and give them ideas of where they can get involved. PSI organized this course into 6 two-day sessions, each covering a stage of drug development and each hosted at a different company. The host company will give their unique perspective from experts in the field. 

In this podcast, we talk about the following 9 important points:

  • Overview of the ITIT course
  • Who is the course aimed at
  • What are the reasons to attend
  • How the course keeps up with changes in the industry
  • Where does the course fit in with the organization’s goals
  • Why should a manager think about sending someone from their team on the course
  • Which locations delegates can expect to visit
  • What makes the course such a success
  • From the delegates’ perspective, what are the benefits for the companies hosting the session
  • When does the course run and when should delegates apply
