Regulatory Hot Topics XI
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
APS GB join JPAG at the 11th Regulatory Hot Topics symposium which will include an update on BP activities and specifically look at the BPs new radiopharmaceuticals guidance. The programme will cover a discussion of international reliance procedures by MHRA, various ICH updates from ongoing guideline revisions. We will catch up with CERSIs and AI, and the changing landscape for combination products due to changes in the medical device regulations.
As usual, the meeting will provide an excellent opportunity for dialogue, discussion and debate in an open forum and allows learning from expert speakers involved in the development of quality regulatory guidance and best practice.
The meeting is open to the submission of abstracts for posters in line with the above proposed key themes.
Speakers:
Dr Paul Dickinson - Founder and Chief Scientist, Seda Pharmaceutical Development Services
Dr Matt Heath - Innovation Specialist, MHRA
Steve Hoare - Standards & Regulatory Governance, MHRA
Dr Janine Jamieson - IPQ

Advanced Dissolution
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
This event brings together scientists, analysts, and industry colleagues for a focused, one day exploration of advanced dissolution and its growing role in modern pharmaceutical development. It is a follow on from the Fundamentals event held in October 2025. As formulations become more complex and regulatory expectations evolve, dissolution has shifted from a simple quality test to a powerful, mechanistic tool for understanding drug performance.
This seminar creates space for sharing experiences, practical insight alongside open discussions. During the day, we aim to highlight new approaches, identify emerging challenges, and discuss the analytical strategies that will shape the next generation of oral medicines. The challenge for us all is: can a single test be sensitive enough to predict changes that may be of clinical relevance, whilst being robust enough to satisfy the needs of a quality control environment?
We're open for abstracts now for posters - deadline: 1-Jan-27 (posters).
Speakers:
Dr Hannah Batchelor - Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences
Dr James Butler - Consultant, formerly GlaxoSmithKline
Dr Paul Dickinson - Founder and Chief Scientist, Seda Pharmaceutical Development Services
Dr James Mann - AstraZeneca
Dr Laura Mason - Upperton Pharma Solutions
Marta Nawrocka - Pharmaron
Kieran Smith - Biowaived

Foundations: Pharmaceutical Trace Analysis
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
Trace-level impurities can have a profound impact on patient safety, product quality, and regulatory approval, despite being present at extremely low concentrations. Join us for the next event in the JPAG Foundations series, designed for scientists who want to build a practical understanding of why and when trace analysis is required throughout pharmaceutical development. This introductory symposium will explore the regulatory and scientific drivers behind trace analysis, providing context for the control of impurities and contaminants that may arise from manufacturing processes, raw materials, packaging systems, or product degradation.
Learn from experts across industry and regulatory science as they introduce the key areas of trace analysis, including extractables and leachables, nitrosamines, potential mutagenic impurities, elemental impurities, residual solvents, and other low-level analytes of concern. Discover the analytical techniques that enable detection and quantification at trace levels, understand the challenges associated with method development and measurement reliability, and gain insight into how trace analysis supports risk assessment, product development, and regulatory compliance. Network with fellow scientists and leave equipped with a strong foundation in one of the most important and rapidly evolving areas of pharmaceutical analysis.

JPAG Pharmaceutical Analysis Research and Career Fair 2026
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
Based on the great success of the past years, JPAG presents this year's Pharmaceutical Analysis Symposium for postgraduate, undergraduate and early career scientists.
This event will provide the opportunity for you to listen to and hear the latest research being carried out by your peers. Early career scientists (undergraduate, postgraduate, industrial) conducting research in various areas of pharmaceutical science will showcase their work through oral and poster presentations with prizes for best posters and best podium presentations (including the prestigious Geoffrey Phillips Award).
A Careers Fair will also be running in parallel during the symposium and will provide delegates with an opportunity to have 1:1 consultations with career advisors from a selection of pharmaceutical employers and organisations including major pharmaceutical companies, contract research organisations and recruitment advisors. Perhaps your future employer will be here!
High profile Keynote speakers will provide inspirational and enlightening talks for delegates.
And additionally, the Royal Society of Chemistry's Careers Team will give a talk on 'Job Hunting in the Pharmaceutical Industry' and will conduct a 'CV Surgery' at the Careers Fair: these are one-to-one discussions to get invaluable advice on successful job applications. So be sure to bring your CV along!
Come along and network with peers, experienced academics, industrial scientists, high profile keynote presenters, and leading companies who are providing careers advice.
This is an event you will not want to miss!
Keynote speakers:
Prof Jayne Lawrence - University of Manchester
Dr Hannah Davies - Asymchem

TESTIMONIALS...
Very enjoyable and thought-provoking day; going away with plenty of notes and specific items for discussion.
Excellent meeting, challenging and thought provoking. The organisation was excellent, thanks to all the efforts that JPAG team have made.
I have not attended a bad JPAG meeting yet. They are really good value for money and I really love to get the presentations as PDFs
I did appreciate receiving the slides before, as then I could print them and make notes around them during the symposium.
Getting an industry perspective on this topic was most helpful.
Fantastic to hear from NHS speaker, provides real insight to patient/clinician considerations that we don't necessarily see in industry.
Hearing the information from the clinical setting side was very useful.
Well organized. This was an amazing session. Prior sharing of the presentation was a great add on!
The most useful aspect of the webinar was the variety in the presentations across industry and the regulators. Really good to review the presentations beforehand.
Good value, well organised symposium. Always useful for focused topics.
A very good day. Enjoyed getting to speak to the presenters to discuss current challenges in industry.
