Manufacturer of the versatile, multi-page Fix-a-Form label Denny Bros is staging a Pharmaceutical Open Day entitled ‘Pharmaceutical Packaging and Labelling — putting the patient first’ at its Suffolk headquarters on 14 May.
Keynote speaker is the BBC’s Dr. Rosemary Leonard and invitations are being extended to delegates from the pharmaceutical arena to examine the packaging and labelling challenges now facing the healthcare sector. The day will include a mix of formal presentations and a tour of the key areas of Denny Bros’ pharmaceutically-accredited facility. The event promises to be an education and will make clear requirements to help comply with global legislation, improve patient safety and streamline logistics.
Dr. Leonard will be speaking from a GP perspective and will be highlighting the importance of patient and medicine safety. Her work as a consultant to the national television, radio and newspapers makes her one of the country’s best known doctors. She is the resident doctor on BBC Breakfast and also writes and broadcasts on behalf of various other media.
Supporting speakers will include Omar Ali, an NHS Educational Consultant, who will look at packaging information from an end-user perspective, and Jim Kaye from Atlantic Zeiser, who will discuss serialisation and product coding. Denny Bros has now invested in this technology for Fix-a-Form multi-page labels and will be demonstrating how to add characters, barcodes, 2D codes, graphics and even Doctor’s signatures in variable, sequential and alpha numeric formats to various on-pack media concepts.
Paul Beamish, from linerless-labelling specialist Ravenwood Packaging, will explain the green advantages of labels with no backing paper and how this will work for manufacturers within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. Stephen Jarrold, Sales and Marketing Director at Denny Bros, completes the line-up of speakers with an overview of the use of Fix-a-Form worldwide as a pharmaceutical packaging solution. His presentation is entitled ‘A Cure for the Information Headache.’
Commenting on the programme for the event, Jarrold said: “We have recently exhibited at both Pharmapack Europe and Packaging Innovations where we found that the need to comply with global legislation and the mission to improve patient safety were still high priority for suppliers to the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. This has assisted in our decision to hold an Open Day to cover these matters and more.”
