Clinical Researcher of the Year - Overview

Here's what three of the 2012 winners had to say:

We will always recommend this competition to others, the sheer taking part and competing in the finals, then being announced as a finalist is recognition in itself. And with the amount of entries for this category, to win is amazing.
Research Site of the Year, the National Institute for Social Care and Health Research

Being a line manager is often a 'behind the scenes' role within the industry yet it is absolutely critical in maintaining quality and motivating your team on the ground. It is extremely important to recognise the hard work that it takes for Line managers to ensure that their teams remain engaged and energised. The PharmaTimes awards are a great opportunity to showcase what we do and why it is so important.

We are delighted to have won this prestigious award in recognition of our work in clinical research.  At Novartis, we take our commitment to research very seriously and see it as the lifeblood of the company so it is great to have this work recognised by such a well-respected competition as the PharmaTimes Clinical Awards.

The PharmaTimes Clinical Researcher of the Year competition was created in 1999 to provide professionals working within the clinical research fraternity the opportunity to improve their skills through a carefully designed programme of competency based exercises devised by a high level industry steering committee.

The aims of the competition are three-fold:

1 To give you the opportunity for personal development through peer benchmarking within a protected environment.

2 To provide the organisations supporting your entry the opportunity to compete with peer organisations.

3 To provide deeper learning and insight to the broader clinical research fraternity through PharmaTimes extensive channels to global Pharma.

Participation is straightforward and not time consuming and every effort is made to ensure that your experience is as enriching as possible. We provide feedback at every stage of the process and should you be talented enough to reach the finals, we provide more in depth feedback on your performance and you will be assigned a mentor from the judging panel for more qualitative feedback post event.

Winners are awarded with the coveted Pharma award and a winner’s cheque for £500.
