MEDICAL
Partnering with the Medical Team During the Highest Value-Creating Activities
Our partnerships with medical teams tend to begin upstream when the medical strategy is being designed and integrated with the R&D and early commercial teams.
what we do
Shaping medical strategies and supporting organizational excellence from early development to launch
Very few advisory firms are equipped with the medical, scientific and strategic experience necessary to effectively partner with medical VPs and directors at a portfolio planning and evidence-generation strategy level. Prescient brings deep scientific understanding and a specialist medical affairs-focused team to support our clients. Due to the breadth and depth of our medical know-how, we are also experts in organizational development to help you build medical affairs capabilities that can ensure that you have a future-proof, world-class medical affairs organization. The core areas of collaboration include:
Development of Medical and Scientific Strategies
Effective asset and brand medical strategies require dedicated support and focus to identify best practices and opportunities for innovation. We provide medical and scientific context to the overall design and management of your portfolio while setting the medical strategic direction for key assets from development through medical launch and beyond. We ensure global medical strategies are effectively communicated and executed at the cross-functional and regional levels.External Creation or Validation of Evidence Generation Plans
Modern integrated evidence-generation plans need to build on the clinical development plans to define and deliver practice-changing data. We generate or validate disease area and competitor insights to support the ongoing management of evidence-generation plans, including medical input into clinical development planning. We believe that evidence-generation plans should be validated externally with KOL or AdBoard input, which we can facilitate to ensure you have confidence that your plans will deliver what you need to support practice change in the future.External Stakeholder Mapping and Communication Strategy
Understanding which clinicians treat the patients most likely to benefit from your therapeutics is critical. We can support you to identify the right clinicians in the right geographies and help understand what evidence they will require to have confidence in changing their practice in the future. External engagement at all stages of the product life cycle should be tailored to ensure that your science is understood in the clearest way possible.Medical Organizational Excellence
Medical affairs functions are increasingly important. We recognize that the demands on medical teams have never been higher, and ways of working need to adapt to ensure that your medical affairs function delivers when it needs to. We are experts in the organizational design and ways of working in medical affairs teams, and we can help you streamline the core processes, establish strategies for effective cross-functional collaboration, and identify the path to seamless rollout from global to regional to local affiliate teams.WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT

HOW WE HELP
The Prescient Medical Team partners with you to put strategy back into your product strategy
Medical is the single function that can truly place the patient at the center of a clinical and commercial strategy. Providing medical and scientific context to the overall design and management of the portfolio is critical and requires the medical team to play a lead role.
If a differentiated, integrated and goal-oriented evidence-generation plan is to be designed and maintained, then setting a clear medical strategic direction for an asset must occur upstream.
The medical affairs function of the future is more agile, more pragmatic and has a greater leadership mindset than most have today. We can support you in developing your team and ways of working to ensure that you are fit for the future.
