These are not only user related but also related to regulatory environment, inadequate ecosystem support that impact the development and use of innovative devices in low resource settings. Although oral liquids are acceptable for the whole paediatric age range (birth to 18 years), a key challenge with their administration is to ensure the correct dose is measured. The dose variability may occur where inappropriate devices (eg. oral syringes) that not suitable for the specific drug product are used and dose being administered, leading to under dosing with diminished treatment efficacy or overdosing with potential for toxic effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-superbfont-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">A multi-dimensional\/multi stakeholder strategy is needed to improve the administration of medicines to children using the appropriate dosing devices. Hence, this stakeholder workshop is being planned that aims to create a dynamic platform where researchers, device engineers, industry leaders, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and end-users converge to foster a vibrant ecosystem of innovation in administration device development. It will help facilitate the establishment of an optimal path towards the correct dosing to paediatric patients with appropriate administration devices, that meets the requirements of all stakeholders involved (Patients, Regulators, Practitioners and Industry). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-superbfont-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">The workshop will gather experts in developing, prescribing, and administering medicines to children in Low Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), with a focus on India, China, Nigeria, Thailand, as well as High-income countries (HICs) like the UK, US, and Europe. Various stakeholders, including patients\/caregivers, healthcare professionals, representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, drug delivery device suppliers, and academia, are invited. Additionally, representatives from national competent authorities and institutions across regions like Japan, Nigeria, US, UK, and EU are also welcome..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-superbfont-small-font-size\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:300\">The workshop will include presentations from keynote speakers and break-out sessions for discussion on specific topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">The workshop is free. The places are limited and only selected participants will be invited to participate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/form.jotformeu.com\/81355228779367\">Click <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/form.jotform.com\/233414913423349\">here<\/a>&nbsp;to complete and submit form for expression of interest to attend the workshop.
