Thx Capt ...re these conferences / symposiums A quick story . My wife ..a Nephrology PA ( kidney disease ) had /has dialysis patients who have / had trouble controlling their serum potassium ...often leading to rushed ER visits. I had invested in RLYP which was developing a drug to lower high serum potassium . P3 trials succeeded and about 9 mths later the FDA approved the drug ...now known as Veltassa.
So I asked my wife ...its FDA approved now so are you prescribing it ? No she said ...not until the Head of our dept OK's it . Months pass . Finally the Head of the Nephrology dept attends a major conference ...participates in a symposium on treating high serum potassium featuring Veltessa ...comes back and instruct all the prescribers in the dept to now start prescribing Veltassa when needed .
It was like a light being turned on . One day none of her patients were getting it . The next day ...all that needed Veltassa were prescribed it .
Hope there's a similar effect following the HEART UK symposium for Icosapent Ethyl
