Designing & Delivering Successful RWE Across France
Gain a practical understanding of how to design and deliver successful real-world evidence (RWE) studies within the French healthcare system.
In this 60-minute session, you will explore how healthcare is organised in France, how clinical practice is structured, and how real-world data are generated and used in research. Particular focus will be placed on the Système National des Données de Santé (SNDS), one of the largest nationwide healthcare databases globally, covering almost the entire population .
Through real examples and expert insights, the session will highlight how to navigate data access, understand methodological constraints, and apply RWE effectively across safety, HEOR/market access, clinical development, and regulatory use cases.

- Key demographics and structure of the French healthcare system
