Executive Education

LiScensEd – Life Sciences Education (formerly Leergang Industriële Farmacie/LIF*) offers one-day interactive modules for practice-oriented professionalization in Pharma, Medtech and Biotech in which various themes and relevant processes are discussed at host companies: Aseptic production; Packaging and distribution and Registration of medicines.

In-depth and practical experience at host companies
The modules can be followed separately, but can also be combined very well. LiScensEd offers in-depth and practical experience through workplace visits at the host companies, discussion with (international) experts and discussion of special practical situations at host companies. A further deepening and anchoring is guaranteed through practical cases and/or role plays.

For whom
LiScensEd – Life Sciences Education is intended for everyone involved in Pharma, Medtech or Biotech from the development up to and including the distribution of medicines or medical devices. The modules offer broadening and deepening of knowledge and experience for both up-and-coming talent and established professionals at a minimum HBO work/thinking level, in areas such as Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Validation, Supply Chain, Registration/Regulatory Affairs, Production, Product Development, Warehousing/Logistics, Clinical Development, Project Management.

* Particularly due to the COVID-19 circumstances, the activities of LIF have been suspended. During that period, the initiators reoriented themselves to the needs of the sector. This resulted in LiScensEd – Life Sciences Education, with a new approach with (for the time being) 3 one-day modules.

Masterclass NieuweZorg (MCNZ) is the ultimate training course for deepening and broadening one’s knowledge and network across the entire spectrum of healthcare!

For over eight years, the Masterclass NieuweZorg has been connecting managers in and around healthcare in order to better interpret the complexity of current issues in the sector. After all, adequate interpretation leads to effective communication, recognition, and realistic goals. Far from abstract texts, close to concrete actions. The Masterclass NieuweZorg brings participants in six themed groups in conversation with each other and respected and influential guest lecturers. After completing the masterclass, there is a possibility to obtain a so-called ‘post university diploma’.

Participants in the Masterclass NieuweZorg are enthusiastic, innovation-oriented, and driven managers in healthcare and related fields: politics, health insurers, pharmacy, Medtech, Biotech, first and second line, general hospital, mental health care, patient associations, and so on. They are professionals who are familiar with the healthcare sector from their experience and who are looking for opportunities to broaden and deepen their knowledge. They all wish to share their passion for healthcare.

Are you ready for tomorrow’s approach to healthcare? Innovate together and sign up for the Masterclass NieuweZorg.

With our academic background, we are right in the middle of the market, at the intersection of practice and scientific research. This position offers unprecedented opportunities to conduct applied occupational-psychological research.

Our HR Research activities provide directly applicable knowledge. Knowledge that we are happy to share, by making our reports available for download.

Automotive Assessment

The best investment in customer satisfaction
Automotive Assessment is part of Derks & Derks and originated from our Talent Development services. Talent Development is important everywhere, but especially in the automotive industry. Our psychologists and consultants have been successfully active in this field for many years.

The automotive industry is facing major challenges, the business model is under pressure. ‘The right person in the right place’ is more essential now than ever before. The labour market is tight. Yet, you want the best (after) sales people who fit the policy you have mapped out. In which area can your sales people still grow and how do you keep them on board? What is the optimal sales team for your company? How do you strengthen collaborations between business units in order to optimally satisfy your customers? All these are questions to which Automotive Assessment provides the answer. Automotive Assessments by Derks & Derks – the best investment in customer satisfaction.

All our assessments, which include role play exercises, coaching and career guidance, are available both face-to-face and online. By means of our online capability (tests), personality questionnaires, video feed during practice simulations, psychological interviews and feedback, we will provide you with thorough advice and a practical and applicable report for all your selection and development queries.

Calendar

For educational and entertainment purposes, we send our clients an annual Derks & Derks desk calendar (in Dutch), in which we highlight certain themes from our field with humour.

In 2022, the calendar theme is ‘Find, develop and bind’ and the full 2022 calendar can be viewed here. On a special webpage we share (also in Dutch) additional tips, facts and/or more in-depth knowledge about that month’s theme. These new pages are unlocked each first of the month and can also be reached via the QR code on the printed version of the calendar.
