This will be desk-based research based on what is publicly available and accessible through searches and information available in the public domain. The project is expected to take no longer than 4 weeks. The findings of this project will serve as valuable input into the three-year business plan, identifying international geographies, countries and organisations of interest, where GMCSI can focus its attention to rapidly grow its consulting revenue. These international countries will be those with less-developed regulatory models and who are looking for trusted advice and support to improve the safety of their patients and the public.  ",
