Course overview

This will be an interactive half-day ABPI Code of Practice refresher for signatories, AQPs (appropriately qualified persons) and Code champions.  You’ll already have great Code knowledge and will want to build on this.  This session is ideal if you want to:

• upskill your knowledge – we’ll explore the game changing, must know Code cases from the last 12 months with their key learning points
• stay up to date – keep on top of the subtle shifts and recommendations from recent Code cases
• have a broad overview of case trends – you may well read the cases but comparing and contrasting cases from the last 12 months in one session reveals limits of acceptability to help you make Code decisions
• update your policies and guidelines – with learnings from the latest cases
• prepare for your internal re-validation assessments
• be able to demonstrate that you keep yourself up to date with the Code

If this session sounds too ‘expert’, don’t worry we also do more general refresher sessions that might be more suitable for you.

On the agenda

We’ll include the really signification cases from topics including:

• Activities before marketing authorisation
• Promotion v non-promotion
• Certification and examination pitfalls
• Information, claims and comparisons
• Digital – websites and social media
• Meetings including advisory boards
• Non-promotional materials such as press releases
• Information for patients and public including patient organisations
• Chance to ask questions
