Zurich, Switzerland -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/28/2020 -- There is a huge amount of money spent every year on drug research and development and clinical trials. Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development has estimated the cost of bringing medicine from invention to pharmacy shelves at around $2.7bn. This highlights the importance of medical communications professionals who work behind the scenes to ensure this hard work and money do not go to waste and the new medications are heard about in Switzerland and around the world. Job prospects in the medical communications market are looking hopeful as the sector is set to reach a market value of around $3.6bn by 2026 according to Acumen Research.

A career in the life sciences industry is an exciting opportunity to benefit the lives of people across the world, EPM Scientific's consultants also work to recruit beyond borders to ensure the brightest professionals in the sector are matched with a company of equal standing. The chances of fully producing a medicine are slim as only one or two compounds in 10,000, as reported by MS trust, actually result in being licensed treatments available to prescription or purchasing. It currently takes around 10-15 years for a testing medicine to reach the shelves of pharmacies with a staggering 90% of all medicines that are tested in people not making it further than the lab. Advances in technology are gradually starting to increase the speed of this process. However, the industry needs professionals who can grasp the increasing transformations due to digitalisation to make sure this pharmaceutical research is carried out effectively. This research and development would remain unknown without the hard work of medical communications professionals who publicise and spread the news of these life-changing trials and medications.
