Template Policies

Design & development of compliance reports & policies

There are certain key policies and procedures that are required as a condition of membership of the ABPI:

• Certification of promotional (and non-promotional) material
• Certification of representative's training and briefing material
• Approval and payment of representative's expenses
• Meetings & Hospitality arrangements and expenses
• Representative's Training
• Non-interventional Studies of Marketed medicines
• Provision of medicines and samples
• The use of consultants
• Medical and Educational Goods and Services (including promotional aids and donations)
• Relations with public and the media
• Relationships with Patient Organisations
• The Internet
• Breaches of the Code and withdrawal of in-breach material
• Co-promotion (where applicable)

However, it would be wrong to assume that our templates only reflect the requirements of the Code. We know that companies have to comply with a wide range of legislation and where appropriate we incorporate guidance from a wider compliance perspective - for example, the US Foreign and Corrupt Practices Act.

The following policies are available to purchase:

Donations & Grants
