Medical Affairs and balanced communication
Medical Affairs is the function that separates scientific data from commercial messaging. Whether that separation holds depends on how clearly a text distinguishes finding from interpretation.
Literature searching: question to traceable sources
A sound literature search begins with an answerable question rather than a word typed into a search box, and becomes reproducible only once the search itself is recorded.
Reading a clinical trial: method first
A result cannot be judged without reading the method. Randomisation, blinding, choice of endpoint and handling of missing data determine how much a finding can carry.
Pharmacovigilance: safety after authorisation
Pre-authorisation studies are rarely large enough to reveal rare adverse effects. A safety profile takes its real shape through surveillance in actual use.
Authorship and disclosure in medical writing
Where a publication does not state plainly who authored it, who contributed and what relationships exist, the content itself becomes impossible to appraise.
From evidence to medical insight
Medical strategy begins not with what the evidence says but with where it falls silent. Defining the gap comes before answering it.
Scientific responsibility in the pharmaceutical industry
The credibility of scientific work inside industry comes not from the absence of commercial interest but from that interest being visible and bounded.
Clinical research: from design to registration
Design, ethical approval, registration and reporting cannot be separated in clinical research. Each determines which question a result actually answers.
