The One MSL Podcast: Medical Science Liaison Excellence

Medical Affairs strategy is increasingly reliant on the important work of Field Medical / MSL Teams to provide the voice and opinions of the KOL and HCP, through insight collection, to drive achievement of Medical Strategic Plans.
With challenges persisting around gaining access to KOLs, how can you make every interaction count, ensuring optimum collection and distribution of key information?
In this session Field Medical Experts Carol Heggie & Helen Kane unlock the keys to success in Mastering Strategic Insight Collection by sharing optimal ways to:
• Use your KOL profiling and Medical Plan to “power-up” your discussions by taking a Patient-Centric approach
• Employ Active Listening to ask better questions that get you to “why” and to understanding your KOL’s beliefs and mindset
• Analyze what you learn and know how to develop your insights further in future meetings
• Harness curiosity as a superpower for collecting impactful information and increase KOL collaboration
• Recognize the relevance of your insight in the achievement of Medical Strategy

Findings from our 2022 Global Survey show that MSLs are engaging externally as early as Phase 1 of the clinical development programme. This finding led to a conversation between Helen Kane, Paul Reynolds, Sanda Rocak & Esther Nzenza, in which they started to explore what MSLs and the wider team needed to know and do to be effective in early life-cycle engagement. It is evident that there is significant scope to collaborate earlier across medical affairs, marketing, market access and clinical development to fully unleash the power of all four. From that single conversation grew the idea for a webinar where they would meet to discuss a number of relevant questions around the opportunities and challenges which can exist for any organisation.

Welcome to a One Community webinar recording for everyone led by One MSL Consultant Patricia Soler.

We have all experienced the stress that comes from having unresolved conflicts with our colleagues, family or friends. Conflicts that are ignored or resolved badly don’t go away – they cause people to feel resentful and to avoid each other. This webinar goes directly to the heart of this problem. We addressed:

-The reality that conflict is inevitable, unavoidable – even healthy. The existence of conflict is not the problem, but the way we tackle it can create challenges

-How to listen to others’ points of view for better understanding and improved relations 

-How to express needs and problems openly and honestly without blame, criticism or finger-pointing

This webinar is the 5th in our 2021 webinar series, ‘MSL Excellence – Adapting to the new normal’. In this session we continued to focus on the key building blocks of MSL excellence.

At One MSL, we recognise the need for everyone within the Medical Affairs function to be continuously developing their skills in order to meet the needs of the healthcare environment, but this isn’t something that can necessarily be achieved alone.   

Enter the “coach” – coaching has been talked about for decades as a development option for individuals, regardless of where they sit within an organisation. But does coaching really happen, who provides it and how effective is it?  

In the final webinar in this series, we explored these and further questions with another varied group of industry panelists:  

-Jessica Purcell, Head Medical Excellence and Governance, Asia Pacific, Takeda 

-Dr. Maja Beilmann-Schramm, Director, Global Field Medical Excellence & HCP Exchange, Merck

-Mark Macdonald, Global MSL Centre of Excellence, Eli Lilly 

-Dr. Maya Sharma, Global Medical Director, Win Medicare, Modi Mundipharma & Signutra 

-Andrew Hewitson, EMEA MSL Director, Kyowa Kirin

This webinar is the 3rd in our 2021 webinar series, ‘MSL Excellence – Adapting to the new normal’. In this session we continued to focus on the key building blocks of MSL excellence.

One MSL was born out of a passion for the MSL and the wider Medical Affairs function. It is our view that onboarding is fundamental for all Medical colleagues to have the clarity, competence and confidence to be effective, whether they are new to industry, new to company or new to role.

Onboarding is more than SOPs and the science. Ultimately, onboarding sets new hires up for success. Yet data from our 2020 global MSL survey suggest that key MSL onboarding topics are being missed. We explored this key topic with the following expert industry panellists:

• Robin England, Medical Excellence Manager ANZ & International Medical Excellence Lead, AstraZeneca
• Ken Yong, MSL Excellence & Medical Operations Lead, Growth & Emerging Markets, Takeda
• Phil Carter, International Medical Excellence Director, Vertex
• Andrew Hewitson, EMEA MSL Director, Kyowa Kirin
• Rainy Marsh, MSL, Sobi
