Independent chairperson

Ad hoc advisory boards, representing clinicians, pharmacists, engineers, epidemiologists, health economists and, more and more, patient representatives, are important to innovative health care companies in pharma or medical devices. These boards aim to gain insight in, for instance, the clinical efficacy, safety, necessity, and cost-effectiveness of medical innovations. Assessing the broad range of HTA/HEOR aspects is of relevance when decisions need to be made about further development, added value in the health care systems and the value proposition of the technology.

Careful preparation and effective chairing of multidisciplinary advisory boards is essential for a successful advisory process. The selection of experts and preparation documentation contribute to the course of the meeting. Based on my extensive experience chairing expert meetings, I know that it is crucial that the chairperson is both independent and impartial, besides the capacity to interact respectful and professional with the experts.

Naturally, accurate reporting of ad hoc advisory board processes and outcomes is part of the responsibilities of the chairperson. An all-embracing chairmanship of advisory boards is a task that I gladly fulfil for you.
