Charlie Buckwell

Acting Global Head of Caudex

Charlie Buckwell - Acting Global Head of Caudex

Although Charlie is the CEO of Complete Medical Group Worldwide, he is currently acting as interim Global Head of Caudex while we are seeking for the right person to lead the global Caudex business forward.
He brings 22 years’ experience in biopharmaceutical marketing and communications, including highly successful leadership roles within both industry and communication agencies.
Charlie has been engaged on many renowned healthcare brands, both as a strategic consultant and in designing evidence-driven communication

programmes, focusing on bringing the evidence to life in practice. He is passionate about the potential for global-regional-local scientific communication and exchange to help support evidence-based decision-making, and to deliver improved patient care alongside improved industry engagement, transparency and reputation. Charlie holds an MBA from Lancaster Management School, specialising in strategy development, intervening in complex organisations and systems, and managing change in practice. As an advocate of pharma’s role in scientific communication and healthcare provision, Charlie has presented at numerous industry conferences and authored several articles in well reputed journals, including the Journal of Medical Marketing and the BMJ. Often these have focused on the activation of evidence in clinical practice, or on the need for a more balanced and open debate about the role of industry as a stakeholder in healthcare provision.

Jackie Marchington

Director of Scientific Operations

Jackie Marchington - Director of Scientific Operations

Jackie has been in medical communications since 1990. After completing her PhD and a couple of post-doctoral research stints, she decided that toiling over a bench was not for her and crossed over to medical communications with TMG, which merged with Caudex in 2004 – so this is her first proper job!
She has developed within the company in a range of roles culminating in her current position of Director of Scientific Operations. During her 21 years in

healthcare communications, she has worked in many project types with a variety of domestic and global clients across a wide range of therapy areas. She has also seen huge changes in how we go about the day-to-day business of medical communications and publication planning, becoming a Certified Medical Publications Professional in 2010. She is an active ISMPP committee member (currently serving on the Issues & Actions committee).
Jackie’s logical approach to problem-solving and project development is one of her key strengths, and her Operations role encompasses the development of standard operating procedures both within the editorial team and across disciplines to ensure the understanding of and adherence to ethical and compliance guidelines, quality control protocols, as well as processes that contribute to the smooth and efficient development of projects.
