Together they offer busy healthcare professionals a streamlined approach via a single gateway to support HCPs when they need it in today’s fast paced and a more interconnected healthcare system.
The demanding and time consuming nature of healthcare industry jobs needs no explanation, with over a third (37%) of healthcare workers feeling they do not get enough time to do their work.1,2 Seeking and navigating the latest medical information has the potential to further add to this workload.
Viatris Connect and Viatris Connect Medical mark a significant milestone in Viatris Australia's commitment to increasing access to education and supporting healthcare professionals. With its comprehensive features, Viatris Connect and Viatris Connect Medical are designed with HCPs in mind and patient care at heart.
Viatris Connect aims to provide a more personalised experience for HCPs, to support them as they navigate the latest medical research, current news and trends, new information on medicines and treatments. Key features and benefits of Viatris Connect include:
- Multimedia educational: Once registered, the platform unlocks access to Viatris brand specific educational content and the latest local and international Viatris independent research, webinars and podcasts both broad and focused on specific medical fields;
- Direct engagement: Healthcare professionals can engage directly with the Viatris medical team without needing to depend on sales representatives or email queries; and
- One place with many destinations: Resources, educational materials, the latest news and product information are all streamlined into a single place, equipping HCPs with the knowledge they need to excel in their practice.
“When it comes to bettering their own knowledge, or seeking relevant support about medicines, a lot of time can be spent simply trying to find the right avenue. From accessing reputable research publications to product information, offering quality healthcare, Viatris Connect is designed to support healthcare professionals so that when they do see the patient, they have the right tools to ensure they are prepared and well supported,” said Cynthia Tan, Viatris Australia Head of Medical Affairs. “Viatris Connect is not just a platform; it’s an information ecosystem dedicated to supporting healthcare professionals by providing them with the tools and resources they need to deliver optimal patient care. By enabling the healthcare professionals we interact with every day to access information on clinical studies and new products, we are able to further extend our commitment to empowering people worldwide to live healthier at every stage of life."
