Compare how well pharma Medical Affairs teams perform and find out which ones physicians rate, in our exclusive report on the Multiple Sclerosis sector. See how well your team stacks up against the competition and where work is still needed.

As well as this timely report weighing up the performance of the European Medical Affairs teams, you can also get an equivalent report for Europe. If you buy both reports, we'll save you time and effort by giving you an additional free report that clearly sets out the differences in findings between both regions.

We asked neurologists who see patients with Multiple Sclerosis for their opinions on the Medical Affairs professionals they had dealt with in relation to at least one of the 9 MS drugs considered. Their frank responses reveal key areas of concern for you and what you should focus on to improve neurologists’ satisfaction. Areas where the teams are giving a solid performance are also highlighted.
