I’m Karen Scollick and I’m pleased to be leading the new Behavioral Science team for GSK Consumer Healthcare, which includes alli as well as our smoking control products.  As I mentioned in my bio, I enjoy sailing and I see a number of parallels between sailing and my new role.Christopher Columbus stated, “By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.” As we have celebrated alli’s first birthday this summer, we have heard from hundreds of alli users who are transforming their lives. Many of these stories are captured in our just-launched allicircles community as well as our special anniversary book, “we lost it.” Behind the images and stories that summarize these journeys exist poignant recou... alliConnect blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1723773 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:03:00 +0100 1723773 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1526949&cid=t_113259_150_f&fid=36082&url=http%3A%2F%2Falliconnect.com%2Farchive%2F2008%2F06%2F17%2Fchanges-on-alliconnect.aspx In the marketing profession, change is a constant.  At alliconnect, we've recently had a change in leadership. Founding alliconnect blogger, Steve Burton, recently resigned from his position as Vice President of Weight Control for GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare. Steve was instrumental to the creation of alliconnect blog and his blog entry on his oops experience is still one of the most visited posts to date.  You will soon be introduced to Karen Scollick, the newly appointed Vice President for US Weight Control at GSK.  Karen has held many leadership opositions in the GSK Consumer Healthcare business, the most recent as the General Manager for GSK Consumer Healthcare Canadian and Puerto Rico. Look for her first post on alliconnect in the comin... alliConnect blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1526949 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:11:00 +0100 1526949 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=552036&cid=t_113259_140_f&fid=35450&url=http%3A%2F%2Fofflabel.blogspot.com%2F2006%2F12%2Foff-label.html Once a drug has received approval in the USA by the FDA (or equivalent body elsewhere) to be prescribed for a particular use, doctors have the discretion to prescribe it for other, hitherto unapproved, uses, known as 'off-label' indications. The marketing strategies employed by pharmaceutical companies to exploit this are well known.However, when I first heard the expression, it seemed like the psychiatric equivalent of 'in remission'; in which the patient one day fails to meet the criteria for a particular diagnosis s/he once received, and thus goes 'off-label.' Or perhaps there is no formal reassessment, but that the patient has simply moved out of the mental health system, by elopement or ejection or something in between, and gradually loses the self-perception and attendant habits of b...
