  1. Case Study Session BROMI VARIATIONS. BROMI Variations Training Meeting 8th May 2008

  2. PLAN • How this session will work. • A presented example (Case Study 1) to give you an idea of what you should be looking for. • Then there will be up to 3 further case studies for you to work through: • More complex than first example. • Time for discussions – answer questions. • Try to work out how you would do it. • BROMI or not and highlighting potential issues. BROMI Variations Training Meeting 8th May 2008

  3. PLAN • ‘Model’ answers to all four case studies will be provided in the delegate pack to allow you to train others. • Set-up for round-table discussions. • Please nominate a table leader to feedback answers to questions during this session. • Any questions please ask the industry or MHRA support on hand.
