PA's Rosie Burnell, healthcare technology expert, will talk on auto injectors for children at Management Forum's Injectable Drug Delivery event, 24 March, London

Rosie Burnell, expert in healthcare technology at PA Consulting Group’s Cambridge Technology Centre, will talk on auto injectors for children: the benefits, challenges and possibilities at Management Forum's Injectable Drug Delivery event in London on Thurs 24 March 2011 (Day One, 17.10 hrs).

Her talk will consider how:

• the majority of auto-injector design is for adults

•  'off label' prescribing has been routine in paediatric practice

• recent legislation in the EU and USA mandates paediatric studies where there is potential for use in the paediatric population

• we can better meet the needs of children with a delivery device, introducing new product concepts and 'child appeal'
