This training course gives a comprehensive overview of the 2015 ABPI Code of Practice – what the Code is, what it covers and how it is practically implemented.
Whilst covering all the Code clauses, we will give extra emphasis to the use of clinical information in materials (clause 7) with do’s and don’ts based on examples taken from recent Code cases.
The course will be very practical, with lots of relevant examples so you can see and quickly learn how the Code should be interpreted and implemented. The small course size will give a tutorial feel to learning, encouraging questions and discussion.
