Case Studies

UK & IE Affiliate

Regulink were asked to provide interim 0.5 FTE support to a pharma client, due to staff shortage at its UK & IE affiliate. Regulink was well placed to provide the necessary market experience and seamlessly onboard into the client role whilst the client recruited a replacement permanent affiliate lead.

The client had a challenge absorbing the workload of this busy department into its other affiliates and hence reached out to Regulink to provide the urgent support needed.

Activities were typical of a national regulatory affiliate and highly varied in nature.

The functional support involved new MAAs, post-approval activities such as variations & artwork submissions, unlicensed medicines and importation advice, provision of local intelligence to the organisation, supply issue handling, representation in internal and external meetings and very close interaction and liaison with the national authorities, MHRA and HPRA.

The support also requested assistance with onboarding the new incumbent to their role and projects before transitioning off.

The Solution

Regulink responded immediately providing an experienced regulatory professional from its core team, with numerous years working in and running regulatory affiliate teams.

To enable the 0.5 FTE support at such short notice required a degree of internal reorganisation of responsibilities for its other clients, made possible by the highly flexible and adaptable environment fostered by Regulink’s core and contract team. Regulink promotes very close working relationships between its team, sharing learnings and status updates at regular opportunities, which allowed for a seamless transition, with negligible impact to its clients.

Relevant local market regulatory intelligence, as required for certain tasks in this specific role, was also quickly made available through Regulink’s consulting partner network.

 

The Outcome

The client benefitted almost immediately from experienced support from our regulatory professionals.

All urgent market priorities were handled promptly according to defined timelines with no slippage due to the unplanned resource constraint.

The other affiliates were able to reduce their involvement and re-shift their focus back to their own territories.

The newly employed affiliate lead was successfully onboarded by the client and Regulink remained available for any ad hoc support or advice as needed.
