“Because I’m worth it!” but are you really?
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 experience 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.
