Excellence in Market Research Awards

For the 2nd year, EphMRA was delighted to have awarded 3 special awards for papers which showcased expertise in healthcare market research.  It is recognised that EphMRA colleagues are engaged in a huge range of healthcare market research initiatives, studies and projects and the Board wanted to take this opportunity to learn more and to enable members to hear more about them.  

The 3 awards were as follows and EphMRA wishes to again thank Adelphi for sponsoring the Business Impact through Innovation Award and SERMO for sponsoring the Excellence in Fieldwork Award.
