CLINICAL TRIALS Q&A ● Vanessa Hyde ● Alchemist Cafe Dublin

COSMETICS, MEDICINES AND FOOD TESTING IN IRELAND

How are cosmetics tested in Ireland before they get onto the shelves and do they really perform miracles? What about over the counter (OTC) medicines - how are these tested and approved? Functional foods are also a new group of products making medicinal claims (e.g soy protein, cranberries) - are these claims verified in controlled clinical trials?

Vanessa Hyde will talk about the current state of cosmetic, medicine and functional food testing in Ireland and de-bunk some of the myths about clinical trials. Vanessa has a background in basic and clinical sciences including 15 years experience in quality management of clinical trials in Ireland with emphasis on Good Clinical Practice (GCP). She is an experienced Clinical Trials Auditor and travels to various sites worldwide to ensure trials are conducted to GCP. She is constantly in touch with leading authorities in her field of responsibility.
