| Workshop profile: |
| This workshop is aimed at medical writers, both new and experienced, who need to understand the basics of pharmacokinetics. Participants will normally have had little if any previous formal instruction in pharmacokinetics, or may not have understood what instruction they have received (or may even have received such instruction before they realised they would need it). |
| Objective: |
| The objective of this workshop is to demystify pharmacokinetics for those who are terrified of mathematics. On completing the workshop participants should understand the meanings of some of the key terms and symbols used in pharmacokinetics, have some understanding of what the different terms tell us about the properties of drugs and be able to write competently about basic pharmacokinetics. |
| Content: |
| Participants will be given straightforward explanations and derivations of the key pharmacokinetic principles and equations. These explanations will be largely conceptual rather than mathematical, with worrisome mathematical terms and techniques explained in simple terms. |
