This seminar will put the spotlight on what good compliance looks like so that you can make sure that your company meets the highest professional standards. It is aimed specifically at those with a responsibility for compliance within their organisations and will be an energetic and engaging online seminar packed with short, sharp presentations, plenty and varied opportunities for interaction and regular breaks.

Guest speakers and compliance experts will cover data protection and privacy guidance, new codes and other considerations. 

We will look specifically at the role and work of data privacy specialists on the pharma company and agency sides and we will provide a PMCPA and a pharma company perspective on key ABPI Code and market research issues.

The session is suitable for those who already have a good knowledge of the BHBIA Legal and Ethical Guidelines and the ABPI/BHBIA Guidance for Adverse Event Reporting. It will be facilitated by members of the BHBIA Ethics & Compliance Committee.
