Criteria
All great marketing should have customer focus, whoever the customer is – the carers, the government, the physician or a myriad of other health professionals, the payers and commissioners, and NICE. As a key criterion throughout the PMEA scheme, customer focus should be evident in all entries. This Award highlighted the importance of customer focus within marketing and judges wanted to see a well-defined and dedicated initiative – not just 'business as usual'.

"Customer focus is what it's all about. After all, influencing, convincing, supporting, or teaching the customer is always the aim - whether they're patients, carers, healthcare professionals, or budget holders. Excellence in any customer facing initiative means first gaining empathy with that customer, and then addressing their needs through flawless execution." Brian Lefebvre, principal, ZS Associates |
Campaign overviewErlotinib, an orally active targeted treatment that significantly prolongs survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, requires a different approach to cytotoxic chemotherapies in the management of potential side effects. A clear need for an educational programme for the lung cancer nurse specialist was identified, to support daily practice for this key stakeholder group, whose limited experience with the product had led to a lack of optimal management strategies and follow-up protocols for patients. |
