Please see the BABCP website to find a trained therapist in your area here) Caveat emptor, many so called ‘sleep therapists’ are not registered or qualified therapists and are not covered by the BABCP guidelines Authors If you are a novelist using sleep as a plot device in your book and you would like an expert to check your ideas for scientific accuracy or you want any sleep related advice please contact me (BTW my advice would be freely given, all I ask is for a copy of the finished book): drneilstanley@yahoo.co.uk Pharmaceutical Companies—Drug Development If you have a drug in development in the sleep/wake field then:- o Do you want someone who will design the most efficient, cost-effective, scientifically valid study rather than someone who tries to put in as much ‘science’ in the study so that they appear clever? o Do you want someone who will design the best study from a drug development perspective rather than designing one around their ‘expertise’ or ‘interest’? o Do you want someone who is independent and therefore will give you unbiased advice right from the start, regardless of where the next advisory board meeting is held or how much the honorarium? o Do you want someone who has actually run hundreds of clinical trials on a day to day basis to advise you about how practical it is to run a protocol? o Do you want someone who designed and successfully executed a 10-way crossover design trial with 9 different formulations of the same hypnotic drug? o Do you want someone who feels your time would be better spent not having a 3 hour discussion at an advisory board meeting concerning what ‘5 cups of coffee a day’ really means o An most importantly, do you want a someone who appreciates that if your drug has a novel mode of action that it might need innovative study designs rather than advising you to develop just another hypnotic. If your drug is not a ‘traditional’ hypnotic why conduct a trial designed to develop another ‘traditional’ hypnotic only for your drug to fail? If you want to do what is best for your drug rather than for your advisory board’s ego or bank balance then contact me: drneilstanley@yahoo.co.uk
