Medical Affairs Reputations: Multiple Sclerosis (EU5) 2019

Detailed product-level analysis for benchmarking and improving the performance of medical affairs teams in the EU5

• How successful are medical affairs teams in meeting physicians’ needs?
• What medical affairs services and support do physicians value most?
• For which multiple sclerosis brands are medical affairs teams delivering services successfully?
• For which multiple sclerosis brands are medical affairs services falling short and where is there scope for improvement?

Clinicians treating multiple sclerosis need the ongoing support of medical affairs teams to ensure complete knowledge of a product’s clinical value and use. The quality of a medical affairs team’s response and service is critical in supporting prescribing and treatment decisions, so how do front-line physicians rate the service they get and where do they see room for improvement?

This and other key questions are answered in this insightful May 2019 analysis of 12 leading multiple sclerosis brands. Based on the results of an in-depth survey of 150 EU5-based neurologists, Medical Affairs Reputations (EU5) Multiple Sclerosis identifies the drivers that build clinician satisfaction and brand loyalty.
