Peter is Director of Education and Training of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine, Royal Colleges of Physicians of the UK. He is Medical Director of Amdipharm Plc, and of Medical Resource Provider Axess Ltd, and Visiting Professor in pharmaceutical medicine at the University of Surrey, which under his direction introduced the first MSc degree in Pharmaceutical Medicine in 1993, which is now part of the Postgraduate Medical School of the University.

He is a member of the Association of Pharmaceutical Physicians and Investigators (APPI). Professor Stonier has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.\u003c\/p\u003e  Research and development of medicines is one of our most challenging, stimulating and successful industrial activities and this book sets out to interest those seeking information about different careers in and associated with the pharmaceutical industry.  \u003cp\u003eSince publication of the 1st edition of this book there have been many changes in the environment of medicines research; changes in philosophy, direction, organisation, communication, financing and regulation, reflected here in the updated and additional chapters. The mapping of the human genome, the growth of information technology and the globalisation of medicines research and development to international standards are just some of the changes which have a major impact on the way we perceive and address discovery research, development and the marketing needs of medicines.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition, as with many other industries, the concept of job for life has been replaced by the need to acquire transferable skills through continuing education and training. For those already in the industry, this book will help maintain a clear focus for career development opportunities in the light of the current structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile it is not possible to cover all the variants of jobs and opportunities that exist in such a complex industry, it is hoped that enough light is thrown on the different careers in pharmaceuticals to allow those at the start of their working life as well as those seeking a new direction in their career to make the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988889223397,"sku":"NP9780470843284","price":122.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470843284.jpg?v=1761781933","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/careers-with-the-pharmaceutical-industry-isbn-9780470843284","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
