Top Takeaways
- Tightly bunched at the top. Six teams have leapt ahead with over 70% of physicians recalling an interaction within the last 6 months. Where does your team sit? At the top or toward the bottom?
- Building confidence. How much do European physicians rely on medical affairs to answer questions about off-label usage? What are they spending more time talking about to medical affairs professionals than ever before?
- Fierce competition. One team has leapt to the top of the satisfaction tables for almost every medical affairs attribute. Which team is it, and what can other teams do to catch up?
- It’s not just about biologics. With small molecules becoming a critical component of RA treatment, how does the medical affairs team for one of the key small molecule therapies perform? Are they leaders, are they laggards and how does your brand compare?
- Are biosimilars delivering the goods? 3 biosimilar brands are included in the survey, but how do they compare to their reference products and what opportunities are open to the medical affairs team to improve overall performance?
- Is it about information or attitude? Do respondents value information of attitude when it comes to offering advice to medical affairs teams on specific areas of improvement?
