AMMF’s Hybrid 2022 European Cholangiocarcinoma Conference 

IME stands for independent medical education—but what exactly is IME, what are the rules that surround it, and why is it a valuable addition to your medical education strategy? This article will take you through the answers to these questions. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.<h3>What is IME?</h3>IME is education that is produced without any involvement or influence from the pharmaceutical company providing funding for the project. Once the company has agreed to support the education, the project operates at an arm’s length, and the IME agency running the project along with the faculty have the final decisions. You may also have heard of CME; this stands for continued medical education. CME follows the same rules and best practice standards as IME, but an accredited version. CME projects undergo review from accrediting bodies and, provided they are approved, any healthcare professional who completes a CME-accredited education module can claim a credit towards their professional development. Many countries require healthcare professionals to gain a certain amount of CME credits across a time period to maintain their licences.<h3>Why may financially supporting IME be a useful addition to your strategy?</h3><ol><li>Some healthcare professionals are sceptical of company-driven education as they believe it will be biased towards the company’s product. By investing in IME on top of your company-driven education projects, you will be able to reach a wider audience. In fact, healthcare professionals prefer IME/CME to other sources of information, including journal articles and publications. (1,2)</li><li>In IME, we are allowed to discuss the impact of clinical trial data on the future of clinical practice. This ensures that, when a new therapy is launched, healthcare professionals have the knowledge needed to swiftly integrate this into their practice. In company-driven education, this type of discussion needs to wait until after launch.</li><li>One of the rules of IME (described further below) is the prohibition of company review of the content via Veeva or equivalent. This means IME is a lot less work for your internal team. If you are stretched resource wise but have leftover budget, IME could be a great solution for you.</li><li>By supporting IME initiatives, you are raising your profile among healthcare professionals as a company committed to the development of knowledge in the field, positive clinical practice change in the field and, ultimately, improving patient care.</li><li>At SES, we will provide you with insights in return for your support. This includes robust needs assessments highlighting the challenges faced by our target healthcare professional audience and outcomes, to show how the education you have supported has helped to solve these challenges. This provides you with valuable insights you can use to develop your medical and commercial strategies further and, importantly, prove the value of your investment in IME to key stakeholders in your team.</li></ol><h3>What are the rules of IME?</h3><ol><li>All content for IME projects should be developed at arm’s length, with no involvement or review by the financial supporter. Veeva reviews or equivalent are not allowed for IME projects.</li><li>IME projects should be faculty led, with the faculty and education company working together to direct the content. The supporter should not have any influence on faculty selection.</li><li>IME projects should be non-commercial. This means they should not mention any brand names, incorporate any of the supporter’s strategic messaging, or have any company branding. At SES, we have a strict firewall in place that prevents communication between teams working on commercial and independent projects, and there is no crossover of team members. This ensures our teams have no commercial knowledge of supporters’ strategies when working on IME projects and do not insert any bias into content.</li><li>This brings us on to the fourth rule: IME projects should be fair and balanced and not represent any bias towards one company’s product over another. All relevant therapeutics must be discussed alongside one another, and all information must be supported by clear scientific evidence. This allows healthcare professionals to make informed and independent clinical care decisions. It may be that one product does appear favourable over the others, but as long as the rule of fair and balanced representation in accordance with the evidence base has been followed, then this is allowed. At SES, we have an experienced team who have been running IME projects for over 10 years.</li></ol>There are multiple ways you can partner with us and support our hubs and patient programs: ​<ul><li>Become a supporter of our hub standard offerings</li><li>Support our hub ​bolt-on projects</li><li>Send us your proposal request and let us share our bespoke ideas</li></ul>Please don’t hesitate to <a href="mailto:partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> get in touch</a> if, having read this article, you would like to hear more about IME.References1.

The latest update from the Partnerships Team at Scientific Education Support.

partnerships update.png

Partnerships update-March 2022

One of the main goals of our education hubs is to provide up-to-date information on the different medical fields that we cover. Thus, a lot of the content that can be found on our websites summarizes and discusses the data presented in key medical conferences happening across the globe.&nbsp;Every year, the SES team prepares a comprehensive congress coverage plan tailored for each hub, including live coverage on the hub social media channels, expert interviews, and written summaries of the most relevant oral presentations. This plan is reviewed biannually by the corresponding steering committee. Once the conference program is available, Indication Leads conduct a thorough review to select the essential sessions to cover live and/or as enduring content. These sessions consider the unmet educational needs of focus for each hub and any additional themes suggested by our supporters and approved by our steering committee members.&nbsp;During the last couple of years, there has been a major breakthrough in medical education that will probably have a long-lasting impact on our understanding and expectations of medical conferences. Due to the pandemic, the necessary virtual format of such events was possible thanks to massive efforts and resources from the organizing medical societies, as well as the pharmaceutical industry. We have seen not only a growing number of events being organized but also record numbers of attendees and abstracts being presented. In 2021, our hematology hubs reported on disease and drug development updates from more than 30 conferences.&nbsp;Although there was an initial reluctance towards virtual congress attendance, the opportunities that it brought rapidly exceeded the downsides. The reduction in registration and travel costs improved access to these events globally while also facilitating the attendance of a conference without missing work or family duties. Virtual formats adapt easily to user preferences and interests and allow new opportunities for patient inclusion, with patients attending and presenting their experiences with the disease and treatment. Altogether, after 2 years and despite a steep learning curve, a recent survey of more than 1,000 doctors from 75 countries found that 58% of physicians preferred virtual and hybrid conferences moving forward.&nbsp;The current environment, eager to innovate, has also led to an ongoing discussion on improving the learning experience during attendance of a medical conference. The model of a 10-minute talk followed by a 5-minute Q&amp;A, with barely any time for discussions with the presenting author, is no longer the gold standard. Instead, new approaches focus on extended panel discussions and live, open chats to maximize engagement and facilitate networking opportunities.&nbsp;<h2>SES Vision for medical education coverage</h2>At SES, we share this vision of a more accessible and interactive medical education, and we believe that social media is fundamental to achieving this goal. During live congress coverage on our multiple Twitter accounts, we provide key data presented from the most awaited trials and drugs, and promote further discussion through questions and polls directed at our audience. We also involve the presenting authors and encourage them to join the conversation through social media or video interviews, where we allow them to expand on their work and give new perspectives on the data presented and their relevance in clinical practice and patient outcomes.&nbsp;The purpose of our SES education hubs is to go beyond the medical conference and provide an enhanced learning experience, where the user can be part of the conversation. Our audience are able to quickly grasp live highlights from the most important congresses in their field and come back weeks later at their own pace to delve into the details of educational and oral abstract sessions in our enduring hub content.&nbsp;In these exciting times for medical education, we encourage you to follow the SES and hub social channels, and check out our Hub Twitter Moments during the latest conference covered live: <a href="https://www.ebmt.org/events/virtual-48th-annual-meeting-ebmt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the 48th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation!&nbsp;</a>Resources&nbsp;<a href="https://pharmaphorum.com/sales-marketing/disrupted-medical-conferences-part-1-the-new-normal-is-already-here-get-used-to-it/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: inherit;">Pharmaphorum.

Introducing our interactive case studies

We are pleased to announce the launch of <a href="https://know-alleukemia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Know ALL</a>, a global education and awareness initiative that focuses solely on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with the aim to provide patients and caregivers with information, resources, and support to deal with ALL. Know ALL is guided by a highly experienced global ambassador group who meet regularly to ensure the voice of patients and their families is at the core of the initiative.&nbsp;Founded in 2022, Know ALL is a collaboration between <a href="https://scientificeducationsupport.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Scientific Education Support (SES)</a> and the <a href="https://acuteleuk.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Acute Leukemia Advocates Network (ALAN).</a> ALAN is a global network of patient advocates who are collaborating with SES on Know ALL to ensure that the ALL community has access to the latest information and resources, providing the best possible support and care for patients with ALL and their families.&nbsp;SES and ALAN would like to acknowledge support, through independent grants, from Amgen and Jazz Pharmaceuticals, without whom the launch of this initiative would not have been possible.&nbsp;With the mission to drive awareness of ALL globally, we are seeking further industry support through independent grants for Know ALL to deliver upon a number of key objectives, particularly the sharing and exchanges of medical advances in ALL. Among the priority educational gaps identified by the ambassador group is the need for education on treatment, including emerging therapies, age related protocols, and other considerations linked to treatment.&nbsp;By funding Know ALL, we believe that industry can help support the educational needs of the ALL community as well as receive valuable insights into the patient experience. We would be delighted to welcome interested industry parties to support the initiative.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Know ALL is important because all cancers should have individual representation. The Know ALL initiative will provide the space for both current, past, and future patients with ALL to access high-quality information about their cancer, both from each other and from experts. I’m proud of Know ALL because it provides visibility for a not often spoken about cancer, and it is something using the voices of the people ALL affects to build resources that patients with ALL will find useful.” Jaymz Goodman, a patient in remission from ALL and a Know ALL ambassador.&nbsp;Please <a href="mailto:partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">contact the partnerships team</a> for more information on how to support this initiative.&nbsp;For more information on Know ALL, please visit <a href="https://know-alleukemia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">know-alleukemia.com</a> or contact <a href="mailto:ses_knowall@scientificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">ses_knowall@scientificeducationsupport.com</a>.&nbsp;Connect with our social channels:&nbsp;Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/_KNOW_ALL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">@_KNOW_ALL</a>&nbsp;Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Know-ALL-102633885259544" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Know ALL</a>&nbsp;LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/76743323/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Know ALL</a>&nbsp;Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/know.all2021/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">know.all2021</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

MDS Hub Press Release Q1: The MDS Hub Continues To Enhance Global Knowledge Of Myelodysplastic Syndromes Throughout Through Key Congress Coverage In 2022

May is Oncology Nursing Month – it's important to acknowledge the vital role oncology nurses play in the HCP community when it comes to patient treatment, advocacy, and care.&nbsp;Oncology nurses facilitate communication between physicians, patients, and caregivers. They help guide patients through their treatments, often providing comfort, information, and guidance.&nbsp;&nbsp;Nurses tend to be present across all indications of a patient’s treatment plan, which requires appropriate training and knowledge exchange in medical education.For Oncology Nursing Month, we reached out to oncology nurse, Erik Aerts, to hear his opinion on medical education on the topic of oncology nursing:&nbsp;In your experience does medical education cover specific therapy areas in oncology?&nbsp;“In my opinion, there are still gaps regarding the education for nurses and other HCPs. As therapies for oncology/hematology patients are more personalized and specific, education is not well covered in this area.”&nbsp;Do you feel like the patient voice is incorporated in medical education?&nbsp;“The voice of the patient is still underestimated; patients as well as their loved ones should be more involved in medical education.”&nbsp;What would you like to see more of in medical education that is directed at nurses?&nbsp;“Education for nurses could be increased regarding disease and symptom management, treatment and side effect management, and medication training. The role of nurses in medication management includes a variety of responsibilities, not only administration but also managing therapeutic and adverse effects, adherence, self-management, education, safety, and care transition.”&nbsp;Relevant literature: Liptrott S, NíChonghaile M, Aerts E, Heamatology Nurses and Healthcare Professionals Group (HNHCP). Investigating the self-perceived educational priorities of haematology nurses. Eur J Oncol Nurs. 2019;41:72-81. DOI: 10.1016/j.ejon.2019.05.010.&nbsp;Did you know SES’s IME is curated for all HCPs in their respective fields?&nbsp;“I wasn’t aware of SES and that it was targeted to all HCPs. It would be good to collaborate with other organizations, such as the Hematology Nurses &amp; Healthcare Professionals Group (HNHCP; www.hemcare.org).”Among our wide reach of HCPs, including hematologists, oncologists, researchers, and more, 10% of our global audience are nurses.Nurses play increasingly important roles in cancer care, from pre- and post-treatment management. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that specialized oncology training for nurses resulted in better outcomes for patients with cancer, including lower hospital readmission rates, fewer treatment-related side effects, and improved quality of life.1&nbsp;Through our hubs, we provide microlearning modules geared towards physicians and nurses to improve patient outcomes, and our education is curated by world-renowned experts and guided by patient needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;We specialize in several therapeutic areas in the blood cancer arena, and our HCP education is tailored to address specific clinical practices, ranging from the latest treatments and clinical trials to drug updates, expert opinions, and more.&nbsp;Our patient programs <a href="https://know-aml.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KnowAML</a> and <a href="https://know-alleukemia.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KnowALL</a>, are directed at patients, caregivers, and nurses to address concerns and advocate for patient best-practices, including disease and symptom management, access to the latest treatments, side effect management, and expert support.&nbsp;Thanks to our IME hubs and patient programs, we are uniquely positioned to incorporate the patient voice in our HCP education, this means that what is important to patients is important to us. Patients often form close bonds with nurses, lasting years post treatment. When considering medical education guided by patients, at SES we do the utmost to be easily accessible to a wide range of HCPs globally, including nurses.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/scientific-education-support/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Follow SES</a> for the latest up-to-date IME delivered to all HCPs globally.Contact us to find out more about supporting opportunities:partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.comNathalie HolguinScientific Education Support<ol><li>Porter C, Haase J, Kelley KM, et al.

Oncology Nursing Month: Collaboration

SES is excited to the announce the accreditation of its first continuing medical education (CME) event. As part of our range of bespoke education programs, we are launching a clinical trial club in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) entitled “Novel agents for the treatment of advanced myelofibrosis (MF).” The first interactive discussion for the club, “BOREAS trial: Navtemadlin (KRT-232) vs best available therapy in relapsed/refractory MF,” will be accessible as a live webinar on July 19, 2022, 08:00 CST (15:00 CEST). This 60-minute event has been accredited by the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (<a href="http://www.ebac-cme.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">EBAC</a>) for 1 hour of external CME credit. The EBAC has signed agreements with the majority of European countries and an agreement of mutual recognition of credits with the American Medical Association (AMA), providing opportunities for physicians and teams to participate in high-quality CME around the world. By launching accredited education, it is our aim to provide healthcare professionals with education that will maintain and improve standards of medical practice, ultimately improving patient outcomes, globally.&nbsp;<h2>What is accreditation and why is it important?&nbsp;</h2>Accreditation is the process by which a credible, independent body assesses the quality of a medical education program to provide assurance that it is appropriate, balanced, transparent, and effective. Many countries require healthcare professionals to partake in accredited CME activities throughout their career for maintenance of licensure and certification, membership of professional societies, and other professional privileges. The EBAC awards continuing education points as a sign of quality and independence for participation in educational activities. It’s accreditation system requires CME providers to base their education on a <a href="https://scientificeducationsupport.com/independent-education" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">needs assessment</a>, measure the <a href="https://scientificeducationsupport.com/updates/hub-innovations-outcomes-measurements" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">effectiveness of their educational activities</a>, design educational content that meets accepted standards of scientific integrity, and ensure that education is free of commercial bias and influence. SES is pleased to have met the requirements of this rigorous evaluation process with the design of its first CME event. Looking to the future, we aim to establish a portfolio of CME resources for healthcare professionals across our therapy areas of focus.&nbsp;<h2>Our first CME event&nbsp;</h2>Our first CME event is brought to you via the expertise of the <a href="https://mpn-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MPN Hub</a>.&nbsp;Myelofibrosis is associated with a significant reduction in patients' quality of life and an increased risk of mortality. Available treatment options, excluding allogeneic stem cell transplantation, are mainly directed to disease-related symptoms and splenomegaly. While JAK inhibitors provide spleen control and symptom improvement for patients, response to treatment is often lost, and there is currently an unmet need for novel therapies to effectively target the disease at the level of the malignant stem cell. There is an ongoing effort to develop novel approaches with different modes of action to fulfil this need, and with such progress it is key that healthcare professionals understand novel targets, the mechanisms of action of new agents, and maintain up-to-date knowledge of the role of new agents in the therapeutic landscape.&nbsp;In this first clinical trial club, chaired by Laura Michaelis, trial investigator Haifa Kathrin Al-Ali will discuss the phase II and phase III clinical trials (NCT03662126) investigating the novel MDM2 inhibitor, navtemadlin (KRT-232), in patients with MF who relapsed on or are refractory to JAK inhibitors. Together, they will review results from the open-label phase II trial and consider what these findings and the ongoing randomized controlled phase III trial (BOREAS), investigating navtemadlin versus best available therapy in relapsed/refractory MF, mean for clinical practice. The agenda includes a live question and answer session, providing participants with the opportunity to interact with our world-renowned faculty. A pre- and post-event test will allow us to understand the outcomes of this event and will help inform the design of future education.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://mpnhub-cme.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://mytest.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/ses2021cms/prod/82a999ea059b96c45efd226caa7e530b.png" alt="MPN CTC Bolt-on social_4.png"></a><h3>Registration is now live!&nbsp;<a href="https://mpnhub-cme.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sign up now</a> to secure your place.</h3>

An overview of the SES approach to meeting unmet educational needs in medical education. 

Our approach to effective educational design: From identifying gaps to improving outcomes 

<h2>Hub innovations: Outcomes measurements&nbsp;</h2>Evaluation is a <a href="https://scientificeducationsupport.com/updates/our-approach-to-effective-educational-design-from-identifying-gaps-to-improving-outcomes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">key element</a> of any educational program (1). It is essential to understand how effective an educational activity has been in closing the practice gaps identified in the needs assessment. To evaluate changes in knowledge and competence, we design <a href="https://lymphomahub.com/medical-information/axi-cel-vs-soc-for-rr-lbcl-zuma-7-primary-analysis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">pre- and post-activity questions</a> to ascertain whether our specific and measurable learning objectives have been met. The pre-activity test questions are identical to the post-activity test questions, so by using the pre-activity test responses as a baseline, we can measure improvements resulting from our education. For our hubs, these pre- and post-activity questions take the format of a “Quick Quiz” intended as a fun challenge for readers, providing them with the opportunity to test their knowledge, improve on their pre-activity quiz score, and compare themselves to the average score of their colleagues. As the first step in the role out of the <a href="https://scientificeducationsupport.com/updates/medical-education-hubs-digital-innovations-2022" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quick Quiz</a>, this functionality was introduced to the Lymphoma Hub earlier this year.&nbsp;Since the end of February 2022, we have published seven articles on the Lymphoma Hub that each include a precise learning objective and two pre- and post-activity questions. Initial data are encouraging, indicating high engagement and completion rates compared with conventional online content (2,3) and importantly, improvements in learners’ knowledge following review of our content.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Key statistics&nbsp;</h3><ul><li>The engagement rate (number of page viewers that go on to play the quiz) has reached up to 24%.&nbsp;</li><li>For the seven articles published to date, the overall completion rate of the quizzes (percentage of readers who complete the quiz after initial engagement) is 73% (n = 62).&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Importantly, of the completed quizzes, knowledge increased following engagement in 60% of the completed quizzes. No overall decrease in knowledge was recorded.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>For quizzes where a knowledge increase was recorded, the average increase in knowledge was 49%.&nbsp;</li></ul>Excitingly, these data demonstrate the effectiveness of our education and the positive impact we are having on readers’ knowledge about specific elements of lymphoma management. The data will feed into our needs assessment process to ensure that we are continually optimizing our education. Analysis of the pre-activity test answers will help us to understand where educational needs are high, and analysis of the pre- and post-activity data will highlight whether our education is sufficiently addressing the needs identified in our needs assessment or whether further education is required in specific areas.&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on the success of the Quick Quiz on the Lymphoma Hub, we are excited to announce that quizzes are now available on all our hubs—<a href="https://multiplemyelomahub.com/medical-information/novel-risk-score-for-predicting-early-relapse-in-patients-with-multiple-myeloma" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">try our recent quiz on the Multiple Myeloma Hub</a>. Furthermore, we plan to introduce innovations to further increase engagement and provide benefits for individual users. At SES, our ultimate goal is to positively impact patient health; enhancing our capacity to measure and understand the outcomes of our education is a key step towards this goal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<ol><li>Shannon S.

Partnerships Updates-April 2022

Spring steering committee meetings&nbsp;Our IME hubs are guided by international steering committees of world-leading experts in their respective therapy areas. These committees meet regularly to discuss educational content and how to support their communities. One way they achieve this is through two steering committee meetings each year, which are hosted by their chairperson and SES.&nbsp;&nbsp;Each meeting serves as an opportunity for the steering committee to gain insights on current hub metrics such as global growth, evaluate educational impact, and hear about new hub innovations.&nbsp;The members also take part in an open discussion on a specific topic of their choosing. This topic is one they believe is affecting the therapy area, the HCPs who practice within it, and the patients that require the care. With a global representation of leading professionals coming together, these discussions provide a unique view of the therapy area, as well as different insights into successful practice. The discussions from these meetings are published on the hubs as enduring content for the wider community to view and learn from.&nbsp;How can you get involved? At certain levels of support, we offer the opportunity for our industry partners to sit in and listen to these discussions in real-time as an observer. Hearing these conversations take place demonstrates to industry what is important to those they aim to support. Following each meeting, all supporters also receive a summary report noting important aspects of the meeting.&nbsp;If you would like to know more about our steering committee meetings or how you can be involved, please contact partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com&nbsp;Supporter update &nbsp;SES would like to thank the following companies for their new and continued support of independent medical education.&nbsp;Lymphoma Hub and Multiple Myeloma Hub CAR T symposium at EHA2023&nbsp;&nbsp;BMS funded an accredited symposium at EHA2023 on CAR T in lymphoma and multiple myeloma, which reached full capacity at the live event.

Happy 1st birthday to the Lupus Hub!

June has been an exciting month for Scientific Education Support (SES), with fantastic activities and updates from a busy period of major hematology congresses.The Partnerships team took the opportunity to attend ASCO in Chicago and EHA in Vienna and experienced some fantastic interactions with new and existing supporters. We were able to highlight key developments on the platforms and from the content coverage plans in the coming months, particularly regarding our hot topics abstract lists for the hubs.We asked Senior Partnership Managers, Geoff Jones and Emma Williams, for their review and conclusions of these congresses.“Attending EHA was a great opportunity and a first conference experience representing SES. Highlights were being able to meet with key supporters for the MM and MDS platforms in person and highlighting our great work in delivering upon the educational objectives of the platforms, particularly increasing knowledge of novel targets and mechanisms of action for agents within the therapy space. The learning opportunities from the scientific sessions were of excellent value, especially with the backdrop of a beautiful city like Vienna.” — Geoff Jones“For my first congress experience representing SES, it was wonderful to finally meet so many key supporters and contacts. It provided the ideal opportunity discuss the expansion of our platforms, particularly in acute leukaemia and our focus on the topic of MRD and effectively utilizing next-generation sequencing to aid personalised treatment plans. I also took the opportunity to discuss some the exciting bespoke CME projects, which we are launching from July onwards. Having attended several sessions, I was left fascinated by the amazing innovation demonstrated within haematology.” — Emma WilliamsThe Partnerships team look forward to continuing our discussions as we move into the summer. The planning now begins for SES presence in New Orleans for the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in December.Supporter updatesAML Hub We are delighted to confirm that Syndax will be continuing its support of the AML Hub. As a Bronze supporter, Syndax’s support will contribute towards enabling the team to meet the key educational objectives of the platform, including stating the best practice use of novel agents in AML.MDS HubWe are delighted to announce that Thermo Fisher Scientific will be supporting the MDS Hub as a Bronze supporter.

Partnerships update-June 2022

Our Managing Director, Mia Hill, was selected to sit on the panel of the latest Good CME Practice Group (gCMEp) webinar. The webinar,&nbsp;Measuring outcomes: current expectations and practice,&nbsp;took place on Thursday 23 March 2023, 13.00–13.30 CET, and a recording is available here: <a href="https://gcmep.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gcmep.org/</a>. To find out more about what the webinar covered, please read on: Much is discussed about best practices when it comes to designing education and measuring outcomes, many people are familiar with the theory of Moore’s Outcomes Framework and the “levels of outcomes”; however, what is actually done in practice in Europe? How is it implemented and what are the expectations of education providers and the various stakeholders? What do accreditors require? What do grantors request? Is it OK to just report participation and satisfaction results? Or are providers going deeper into the data they collect?The panel reviewed and discussed some trends they are seeing in Europe and took questions from the audience along the way. The webinar is for anyone interested in how CME-CPD/IME is developed and presented in Europe.We are proud that SES is seen as a leader in the field of outcomes development and that the gCMEp chose Mia as a panellist for this session. &nbsp;Nathalie HolguinScientific Education Support

SES webinar recap 

IME hub innovations: User accounts and personalized education journeys &nbsp;Here at SES, one of our priorities is to constantly refine and develop our offering – for both users and supporters.&nbsp;Our most recent updates across the portfolio of platforms included the introduction of translation functionality across our education, meaning we can supply content in over 100 languages, permitting truly global reach, as well as the introduction of the hub drug updates page, which allows users to access the latest drug and trial news as it is reported from our Twitter accounts.&nbsp;We are very excited to announce the introduction of user accounts across the suite of platforms, with the <a href="https://lymphomahub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lymphoma Hub</a> being the first to see the roll-out later in Q4 of 2023.&nbsp;This innovation will ensure that the content can remain open-access and free but, for those who want it, users can start building learning journeys and bookmark and save articles of interest – enabling the creation of a personalized journey.&nbsp;Knowing more about the user’s interests will allow us to suggest further content to develop their learning journey. Importantly for us, it will provide essential profiles on our audience and what they need, allowing us to offer higher levels of learning outcomes as we will be able to link learning resources, reinforce education, and track outcomes.&nbsp;For more information around how your organization can support targeted education in Lymphoma and CLL, please contact:partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com.&nbsp;&nbsp;EULAR, ERA, &amp; WCD – The SES Immunology Hubs go on their travels! &nbsp;Our global, open-access online platforms provide balanced, credible, and up-to-date medical education. In 2022, we successfully launched our first platforms within the immunology space: the <a href="https://psoriasis-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Hub</a> and the <a href="https://lupushub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Lupus Hub</a>.&nbsp;A vital element of comprehensive global IME delivery is our investment in international congress coverage.&nbsp;&nbsp;Together with our global steering committees, we identify key congresses that we would like to cover over a 12-month period. At the congresses, our medical writers attend as many sessions as possible and post live coverage to our social media feeds, sharing key data and news with our followers as soon as it is released. We provide congress digests, key updates, and live coverage over social media – ensuring we disseminate learning with our HCP communities, closing the learning gap for those who are not able to attend themselves.&nbsp;We are frequently the top influencer at congresses we attend for our current hubs. Being a top influencer means that of all the tweets surrounding the conference, ours are the ones with the most interaction. In this way, we are ensuring education is provided to the masses through our targeted tweets.&nbsp;This summer, our immunology hubs attended the 2023 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Congress in Milan, Italy. During May 31 – June 3, over 12,000 delegates from around 125 countries met to share the latest scientific breakthroughs in clinical, translational, and basic sciences to guide treatment in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.&nbsp;The dedicated coverage by our scientific teams secured an average of 1,989 impressions per post, with an engagement of 9.5%. Industry standards consider 0.5% to be a good engagement rate for Twitter, with anything above 1% seen as great – so to be hitting these metrics at such an early point in the platforms’ journeys is a testament to the quality and relevance of the content provided by the platforms.&nbsp;It was a quick turnaround for the <a href="https://lupushub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lupus Hub</a> team to get back out to Milan for the 60th Annual European Renal Association (ERA) congress, June 15–18, 2023. With over 9,000 registrants from 123 countries, ERA showcased key lupus updates for coverage on the hub and boasted a daily Twitter audience of 16,000 HCPs. Securing up to 1,481 impressions per post, with an engagement rate of 7.3%, this was a key audience for the team to reach through the hub’s activities.&nbsp;The immunology team rounded off the summer with a longer flight to cover the key sessions at the World Congress of Dermatology (WCD), July 3–8, 2023, in Singapore.&nbsp;The congress, which runs every 4 years, aims to improve cooperation across geographic, political, and economic borders and improve skin health for all. The broad program covers clinical areas, community engagement, and research.&nbsp;Representatives from the SES partnerships team were delighted to attend in support of the scientific team to meet with key stakeholders in psoriasis, with a view to discuss the development and growth of the platform – both in terms of educational priorities and supporters. With over 12,000 attendees, there were lots of conversations to be had!&nbsp;For more information about our congress coverage plans or how you can support education in immunology, please contact our partnerships team.&nbsp;Partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com

Partnerships update, August 2023

As we go further into Q4 and a busy congress season across our education platforms, this is a perfect time to reflect on the value of our continued coverage of scientific congresses.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our dedicated IME (Independent Medical Education) platforms have two key aims. Firstly, educating healthcare professionals on targeted learning gaps identified through robust needs assessments directed by our global steering committees. Secondly, we endeavor to keep healthcare professionals abreast of the latest data across their indication.&nbsp;&nbsp;To ensure we are keeping up with the latest science, we attend key congresses and design live micro-learning social media campaigns on the highlights and key educational messages. At the congresses, our medical writers attend as many sessions as possible and post live coverage to our social media feeds, sharing key data and news with our followers.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are frequently the top influencer at the congresses we attend. In this way, we ensure up-to-date medical education is provided to the masses.&nbsp;Among other activities, September included coverage of the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO) 2023 Annual Meeting in Houston. With an attendance of over 3,500 dedicated healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and specialists, this year's symposium aimed to explore the latest advances in the pathophysiology and therapy of hematologic malignancies. An extensive range of topics were covered, including leukemias, lymphomas, myeloma, myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative neoplasms, related malignancies, and exciting developments in cellular therapy.&nbsp;Below are some of the highlights of SOHO 2023 which were covered on our hubs:&nbsp;<ul><li>Lymphoma Hub: <a href="https://lymphomahub.com/medical-information/how-can-we-improve-care-for-elderly-patients-with-hl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: var(--clrFieldRangeBackground, #e1e3e6); color: var(--clrFieldRange, #000000);">How can we improve care for elderly patients with </a>HL?&nbsp;</li><li>Multiple Myeloma Hub: <a href="https://multiplemyelomahub.com/medical-information/outcomes-in-patients-with-mm-achieving-mrd-negativity-after-treatment-with-cilta-cel-cartitude-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: var(--clrFieldRangeBackground, #e1e3e6); color: var(--clrFieldRange, #000000);">Outcomes in patients with MM achieving MRD negativity after treatment with cilta-cel: CARTITUDE-1</a>&nbsp;</li><li>MPN Hub: <a href="https://mpn-hub.com/medical-information/novel-non-jak-inhibitors-for-mf-updates-from-soho-2023" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: var(--clrFieldRangeBackground, #e1e3e6); color: var(--clrFieldRange, #000000);">Novel non-JAK inhibitors for MF: Updates from SOHO 2023</a>&nbsp;</li><li>MPN Hub: <a href="https://mpn-hub.com/medical-information/treatment-options-in-patients-with-myelofibrosis" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: var(--clrFieldRangeBackground, #e1e3e6); color: var(--clrFieldRange, #000000);">Treatment options in patients with myelofibrosis</a>&nbsp;</li></ul>The SES team will be out in full force until the end of 2023, we would be delighted to meet with you, share our work, and understand more about yours—please let us know if you would like to meet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>ESH 6th International Conference: Acute Myeloid Leukemia "Molecular and Translational": Advances in Biology and Treatment&nbsp;</li><li>15th International Hybrid Congress on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms&nbsp;</li><li>EHA-SWG Scientific Meeting on MDS/MPN/AML: Commonalities and Differences of Myeloid Neoplasms&nbsp;</li><li>American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Meeting (ACR Convergence)&nbsp;</li><li>65th ASH Annual Meeting &amp; Exposition&nbsp;</li></ul>Contact the team for more information: <a href="mailto:partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: var(--clrFieldRangeBackground, #e1e3e6); color: var(--clrFieldRange, #000000);">partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Expert Discussions In Hematology

Clinical trials are the foundation for the development of treatments across the world; however, there are numerous elements that make understanding the key outcomes of trials and the implementation of a successful trial into clinical practice challenging for healthcare professionals (HCPs). Questions regarding the location, referral processes, patient eligibility, trial requirements, accessibility, and risks are among the recurring concerns voiced by HCPs and candidates.&nbsp;&nbsp;Here at SES, we can provide multi-supported, accredited clinical trial club webinars across our hubs, with the intention to demystify the complexities of clinical trials. The sessions offer the opportunity for hub users to interact with our world-renowned steering committee and hear their expert opinions on the latest data and its impact on clinical practice.&nbsp;With a dedicated engagement campaign to maximize HCP attendance, these clinical trials clubs increase knowledge and awareness of the trials covered, and facilitate learning to ensure HCPs become more informed around the suitability of a trial for their patients, as well as the key outcomes data and how this will impact clinical practice when the drug is launched.&nbsp;&nbsp;During the session, a guest author/lead investigator presents the key highlights of a publication/clinical trial and the expert panel discuss what this latest update means for the future of clinical practice. The session is recorded and hosted as an enduring piece of education on the hub to further enhance reach and key educational snippets are also circulated on the hub’s social media channels to create impactful and wide-reaching microlearning.&nbsp;&nbsp;Please contact us if you would like to learn more about the different clinical trials clubs we can offer across our indications and how we can showcase your work.&nbsp;&nbsp;📧Partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.comEmma WilliamsScientific Education SupportDigital innovation&nbsp;On a biannual basis, our engagement team delivers reports for our supporters to showcase the latest hub outcomes. These reports provide valuable insights, such as user metrics, regional breakdowns, and which articles have been published that are relevant to the supporter. The reports also provide updates on the outcomes from unmet needs submissions that have been provided by our supporters.&nbsp;Following recent digital innovation, we can now share these reports via a link that can be circulated internally. The visuals are designed for easy viewing in presenter mode on large screens or personal computers and relevant links are provided to signpost supporters to insightful and useful content.&nbsp; <img src="https://mytest.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/ses2021cms/prod/25712d4b43d3a7c8bb8b30088a4b2ff3.png" alt="Picture1.png"><img src="https://mytest.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/ses2021cms/prod/4e8418de62c2ac0e4d7082369a2d3a05.png" alt="Picture2.png"><img src="https://mytest.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/ses2021cms/prod/52db839dc03ac27bd7347cf06cdbcfc1.png" alt="Picture3.png">Geoffrey JonesScientific Education Support

SES success as EHA2023&nbsp;EHA2023 in Frankfurt, Germany was an incredible success for us personally at SES! On the Friday evening and with a packed auditorium, we delivered a live, hybrid Lymphoma Hub and Multiple Myeloma Hub symposium on: The ins and outs of CAR T cells in the real world.&nbsp;The success of this event cemented the fact that IME symposia attract HCPs in droves!&nbsp;&nbsp;We are now gearing up to upscale this offering to our industry supporters; from the smaller congresses to the biggest, we have the ability to develop and implement truly thought-provoking content that addresses clinical gaps. Our use of pre- and post-test questioning allows us to measure the learning outcomes delivered. Our recent symposium saw participants increase their knowledge by an average of 21% on the topic of metabolic tumor volume and 89% of respondents felt they could use what they had heard in the symposium in their clinical practice.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Please get in touch with the partnerships team to find out more about how you can support: <a href="mailto:partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(225, 227, 230);">partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com</a> SES and FOCIS: Working together to deliver IME in immune-mediated diseases&nbsp;&nbsp;SES is an independent medical education agency with a strong heritage in hematology and a growing presence in immunology.&nbsp;Our global, open-access online platforms provide balanced, credible, and up-to-date medical education in their respective indications. In 2022, we successfully launched our first platforms within the immunology space; first the <a href="https://psoriasis-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Hub</a>, followed by the <a href="https://lupushub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Lupus Hub</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;Across our portfolio of IME platforms, we are reaching over 244,000 unique users across 190 countries annually. In 2023, we plan to launch a dedicated IBD Hub, which will be the first of its kind in the IBD field, with another hub focussing on multiple sclerosis to follow.&nbsp;&nbsp;We could not do this without our vital partnerships with international societies and patient groups from across the world, which allow us to create innovative educational initiatives that give rise to empowered communities, stronger networks, and greater collaboration opportunities.&nbsp;Guiding our journey into the immunology space via the <a href="https://lupushub.com/%22%20/h%20HYPERLINK%20%22https://lupushub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(225, 227, 230);">Lupus Hub</a> has been our overarching partnership with the <a href="https://www.focisnet.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS)</a>.

Scientific Education Support provides secretariat support for the Global Cholangiocarcinoma Alliance.This February, the collective voice of the <a href="https://globalccaalliance.com/en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Global Cholangiocarcinoma Alliance</a> came together to mark <a href="https://globalccaalliance.com/en/world-cca-day" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> World Cholangiocarcinoma Day with a campaign to raise awareness and support for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) called “See CCA.”</a> The GCA has united to establish a global community in CCA through international collaborations, and it works towards improving the future for patients with CCA across the globe.​&nbsp;CCA, also known as bile duct cancer, is a cancer with a high mortality rate. Although it is considered rare, the worldwide incidence of this devastating cancer is increasing. The epidemiology of the disease varies between regions, with risk factors well defined in some areas and poorly in others.​&nbsp;As part of our campaign for World CCA Day, we launched a wide range of materials that can be found and downloaded here on the <a href="https://globalccaalliance.com/en/world-cca-day" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> GCA website</a> . All were made available in multiple formats, including editable, to ensure easy translations and global inclusivity!​ We urged everyone to get involved online and offline and encouraged colleagues and friends to do so too to show support and raise awareness.&nbsp;&nbsp;On February 11–13, the Twitter hashtags #WorldCCADay and #SeeCCA saw over 9,000 impressions and 1,500 engagements, including retweets, likes, and mentions. Across Facebook and Instagram, we increased our page likes, drove upwards of 450 page views and 175 profile visits, and saw continuous engagement and interactions throughout.&nbsp;Our integrated campaign running for the month of February also includes the promotion of a series of patient support animations covering a variety of topics, including the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of CCA. These can all be found here on the <a href="https://globalccaalliance.com/en/cca-facts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> GCA website</a> , and initial results show high levels of engagement, particularly on Facebook. Our campaign will run until the end of February to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and raise awareness of CCA for World CCA Day and beyond.&nbsp;You can support the goals of the GCA further by joining 1,127 people who have already <a href="https://globalccaalliance.com/en/get-involved/the-pledge" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> signed the pledge to support the CCA community</a> to raise awareness globally. We use these pledges to continue to build a network of informed supporters who will strengthen and expand our reach in establishing a global voice in CCA and ensure our vision becomes a reality.&nbsp;If you would like any more information about the campaign, please do not hesitate to get in touch via <a href="mailto:SESGCA@scientificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> SESGCA@scientificeducationsupport.com</a> and follow our social channels.&nbsp;&nbsp;Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/CCA_Alliance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @CCA_Alliance</a>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/globalCCAalliance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @globalCCAalliance</a>World CCA Day Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/worldccaday/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @worldccaday</a>World CCA Day Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/WorldCCADay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @WorldCCADay</a>World CCA Day Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/worldccaday/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> @worldccaday</a>

Know AML Blood Cancer Awareness Month Campaign: Keep MOVING, Keep LEARNING

Medical education is constantly evolving as new research and technologies are developed. To ensure that healthcare professionals are up to date on the latest knowledge and practices, it is essential to conduct regular unmet needs assessments.&nbsp;An unmet needs assessment is a process of identifying the gaps in knowledge and clinical practice among healthcare professionals. This can be done through surveys, interviews, literature reviews, or focus groups. The results can then be used to develop targeted medical education programs that address the specific needs of the target audience.&nbsp;Conducting an unmet needs assessment before developing a medical education program is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it ensures that medical education programs are relevant and align with the needs of healthcare professionals. Secondly, it can help to identify areas where there is a lack of consensus on best practice. Thirdly, it can help ensure that educational programs effectively improve knowledge and skills.&nbsp;Keeping unmet needs assessments updated ensure that they reflect current real-world practice. This can be done by conducting regular assessments and monitoring the results to identify any changes in the needs of healthcare professionals. For the healthcare professional education platforms run by Scientific Education Support (SES), unmet needs are reviewed at least once a year and any relevant additions are discussed with the hub's steering committee members. By conducting regular reviews of our unmet needs assessments, we ensure that our medical education programs are more effective in addressing the needs of healthcare professionals and improving the quality of care provided to patients.&nbsp;Below are some generic examples of knowledge and clinical practice gaps that could be identified through an unmet needs assessment:&nbsp;<ul><li>Lack of knowledge about the latest treatment options and mechanism of action of novel drug classes&nbsp;</li><li>Lack of knowledge about the side effects of treatment and dose modifications&nbsp;</li><li>Low confidence in making treatment decisions when sequencing therapies&nbsp;</li></ul>To read more about unmet needs assessments, you can find additional resources at <a href="https://www.accme.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">The Association for Continuing Medical Education</a> (ACCME).&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are interested in learning more about our processes when developing an unmet need assessment or information regarding our current needs assessment for our digital platforms, please contact us at partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com&nbsp;

Each of these hubs is guided by an international steering committee of world-leading experts in their respective therapy area, who meet regularly to discuss the content and how to support the HCP community. SES and these committees are responsible for creating needs assessments that direct the hubs’ educational objectives each year.&nbsp;SES hosts two steering committee meetings per year to bring together its members to engage in informed conversations on therapies, patient treatment pathways, clinical trials, and more. Content from these meetings can be disseminated on the hubs directly, but it is also used to direct further educational content.&nbsp;&nbsp;Industry plays a big part in the battle against disease; because of this, our steering committee allows supporters of a certain level to attend meetings in an observer capacity. In addition, they receive a report outlining what the committee feels, as a group, is of immediate importance to the HCP and patient communities.&nbsp;The unique relationship that SES has with our steering committee members, in addition to our understanding of the important responsibility that industry has for education and patient outcomes, means we are able to provide significant value to HCPs through the content on our hubs.&nbsp;If you would like to hear more about our steering committees and their meetings, please contact <a href="mailto:partnerships@scietificeducationsupport.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(225, 227, 230);">partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.com</a>.Geoff JonesScientific Education SupportCME symposium update: Demystifying the complex&nbsp;The role of ECP in the management of GvHD: Delivering engagement with key targets through live and enduring content&nbsp;In addition to our global IME hubs and patient platforms, SES offer bespoke, CME accredited medical education. Most recently, the GvHD Hub was delighted to host a dedicated symposium addressing the role of extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) in the management of GvHD, which was expertly chaired by Professor Mohamad Mohty,​ with additional learning delivered by Professor ​Hildegard Greinix​ and Professor ​Daniel Wolff.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sessions recalled the latest data and recommendations relating to ECP use in GvHD. The expert panel provided guidance on how to identify which patients would benefit from ECP and stated factors that may warrant avoidance or deferral of ECP. The symposium also provided guidance on how to combine ECP with other therapies, such as immunosuppressive agents, and shared best-practice recommendations for conducting ECP, including treatment schedules, anticoagulation practice, and safety monitoring strategies.&nbsp;&nbsp;The reach of the live segment of the symposium was diverse, with 300 registrants expanding over 27 countries. This program was accredited by the European Board for Accreditation of Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) for 2 hours of external CME credit available upon completion.&nbsp;&nbsp;The feedback for the symposium has been fantastic and is a testament to the quality of the education offered. 100% of responders thought the symposium was scientifically valid and that the activity met their expectations. In addition, 100% of respondents committed to use what they had heard in the symposium in their clinical practice.&nbsp;To ensure longevity of the symposium content, the sessions are hosted on the <a href="https://gvhdhub.com/medical-information/key-considerations-for-the-use-of-ecp-in-gvhd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(225, 227, 230);">GvHD Hub</a> as three separate videos, with additional written summaries and key visuals from the presentations, as well as the option to download the presentation slides for free. Furthermore, the GvHD Hub contains a designated area for all symposium-related content, including a playlist function that allows viewers of one symposium video to automatically transition to the next. ​&nbsp;&nbsp;Across YouTube and the GvHD Hub, the video content has amassed over 1,000 views in just over 2 months. This highlights a keen interest from our target audience in the content of the symposium. ​Moreover, promotion of the enduring video content was highly successful, achieving almost 4,000 impressions in the same time period. ​&nbsp;This activity was kindly supported by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals through grant funding, but no access to content steering or speaker engagement was provided.&nbsp;As demonstrated, through our educational offerings, SES can provide tailored education that can be designed to specifically address the unmet educational needs and practice gaps most relevant to your specific targets; utilizing a comprehensive needs assessment.&nbsp;&nbsp;For information on how we can assist your organization in the creation and delivery of high-quality independent bespoke medical education at future events, or if you would like to hear more about our hub-based offerings, such as webinars, clinical trial clubs, and symposia, please contact us:Partnerships@scientificeducationsupport.comLucy MurphyScientific Education Support

SLE is characterized by a relapsing remitting disease course, organ damage, and highly variable manifestations, which often overlap with other conditions, such as rheumatoid diseases, hematopoietic malignancies, and infections, which can lead to delayed diagnosis.&nbsp;A common complication of SLE is lupus nephritis (LN), where the immune system targets the kidneys. LN significantly impacts morbidity and mortality and can result in chronic kidney disease and kidney failure. LN is also associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, as well as adverse fertility and pregnancy outcomes.&nbsp;Early diagnosis and effective treatment are vital to achieve sustained immunologic responses and improved outcomes for patients with SLE and LN.&nbsp;&nbsp;About Scientific Education Support (SES)&nbsp;SES is a medical education company with projects such as community physician education through our therapy hubs, community awareness and education through our ‘Know’ education initiatives, and academic researcher education through Entrepreneurs in Clinical Academia (ECA) programs.&nbsp;Scientific Education Support has a portfolio of successful websites supporting the advancement of medical education in the fields of hemato-oncology, rheumatology, and dermatology: <a href="https://lymphoblastic-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">ALL Hub</a>, <a href="https://aml-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">AML Hub</a>, <a href="https://gvhdhub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">GvHD Hub</a>, <a href="https://lymphomahub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Lymphoma Hub</a>, <a href="https://mds-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">MDS Hub</a>, <a href="https://mpn-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">MPN Hub</a>, <a href="https://multiplemyelomahub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Multiple Myeloma Hub</a>, and <a href="https://psoriasis-hub.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Hub</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;About the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS)&nbsp;FOCIS exists to improve human health through immunology by fostering interdisciplinary approaches to both understand and treat immune-based diseases.

SES Hubs: Improving outcomes in hematology  

<h3>Thank you to our supporters – Mia Hill&nbsp;</h3>As the year comes to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to reflect on all the hard work that has been carried out by our organization and everything that we have achieved throughout the year.&nbsp;We are proud of the fact that our education solutions have enhanced knowledge among healthcare professionals (HCPs) by improving access to balanced, credible, and up-to-date medical education where there is an unmet need. Our Patient Advocacy Team have also ensured that the patient voice is represented throughout our work and improving patient outcomes will always be at the forefront of our educational work.&nbsp;With the launch of two new hubs (Lupus Hub and Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Hub) and hosting three CME accredited online events, we have reached new audiences and enhanced our offering to time-stretched HCPs. We also launched our new patient program, Know ALL, which is a global education and awareness initiative that provides patients and caregivers with the information, resources, and support they need to deal with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.&nbsp;&nbsp;As our educational content and engagement with our outcome assessments grow across our hubs, we anticipate seeing a strengthening impact on outcomes. Importantly, our outcomes feed back into our needs assessment process, ensuring we are continually optimizing our education. This approach guarantees we are consistently providing effective education, in areas where it is needed, to improve patient outcomes.&nbsp;Working alongside our Scientific Services Team and Education Lead, our Digital Team have continued to develop and implement innovative improvements to our hubs, such as learning objectives for content, outcomes assessment (a pre‑and post‑content quiz to assess knowledge change), Google Translate (providing hub content in &gt;100 languages), and live drug updates (a notice board for the latest updates in treatment options). We also have some exciting updates for 2023, including educational resource centers (a dedicated learning space for users to learn and test their knowledge), podcast libraries (one central location for the latest and historical hub podcasts), user accounts (personalized content and landing pages for all hub users), and increased accessibility (audio narration for all articles on our hubs).&nbsp;&nbsp;It has also been so exciting to see our Partnerships Team and medical writers travel across the globe to meet with our supporters and engage with esteemed opinion leaders at key congresses. Most recently, the SES team were in New Orleans for the 64th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition; it was fantastic to connect with our industry partners and provide them with some excellent updates from our hematology platforms, particularly regarding the latest 2022 engagement statistics.&nbsp;These and so many other successes were achieved during a difficult time, which is why I’d like to also pay tribute to the team at SES, our steering committee members, partners, supporters, and friends, who make what we do so rewarding and impactful in several communities. The dedication and commitment of our team has been exceptional throughout the year and all efforts are very much appreciated.&nbsp;Finally, I would like to wish you and your family peace, prosperity, and good health throughout 2023. We can’t do what we do without our supporters and SES remain committed to making a difference through education.&nbsp;We look forward to sharing further exciting updates with you in the new year.&nbsp;Kind Regards,&nbsp;Mia Hill&nbsp;Acting Managing Director&nbsp;Scientific Education Support&nbsp;
