Our latest white paper

Empowering MSLs to deliver better scientific engagements

HCPs’ increasing reliance on the scientific expertise of MSLs is positioning the role as an essential strategic resource for Pharma companies. This trend has resulted in a boom in the number of MSLs across the industry – since 2010 MSL headcount has increased by 300%. However, many Medical Affairs teams remain underfunded and struggle to provide MSLs the support and resources they need to effectively carry out their impactful work. Oliver Spray has written our most recent whitepaper titled ‘Empowering MSLs to deliver better scientific engagements’, which examines three challenges MSLs face in delivering impactful HCP engagements as well as providing proposals to Pharma on how to overcome them.

Client testimonials

“What makes Protagoras stand out is their commitment to understanding both our specific business needs and current state, before designing a custom solution to evolve our capabilities naturally.”

“Protagoras has been an invaluable resource to a tech implementation project within our organisation. They provided strong direction to the project team to ensure that continuous and productive progress was made in regards to tool development and implementation. The drive and ambition that Protagoras’ consultants have has meant the process around tool development has been greatly expedited. I would highly recommend Protagoras as consultants to work with if you want a seamless approach to project management and implementation.”

“The Protagoras team were fantastic to work with. They were able to independently understand the project requirements quickly and efficiently. They also made it a priority to ensure their solution fully addressed our needs and that we were happy with it. They checked in with us along the way, listened and understood concerns, offered practical solutions as needed, and delivered the end-product rapidly and efficiently. We hope to work with them again in the future!”
