Pharma Meetings & Compliance

Pharma Meetings has a responsibility to ensure that all its activities relating to venue selection and contracting comply with the relevant regulatory requirements. Pharma Meetings will:

  • Check with you at every stage to ensure that your pharma meetings fully comply with the ABPI 2008 Code of Practice (UK meetings) and other relevant national regulatory requirements
  • Ensure that you have confidence in the venue selectedÂ
  • Ensure that all Pharma Meetings’ standard operating procedures (SOPs) and service level agreements (SLAs) are continually reviewed to ensure compliance with the Code and all other legal requirementsÂ
  • Ensure that all relevant Pharma meetings personnel are appropriately trained in the requirements of the Code and remain up to date with regulation changesÂ
  • Act as an adviser to highlight any areas for concern where a breach may occur through the inappropriate selection of a venue
  • Work within procurement pricing parameters as determined by your company and the Code

What we will require from you:
In your meeting planning we will ask you to consider all aspects of the meeting and supply us with the following:

  • The objectives, purpose and key criteria for the meeting
  • Any guidance regarding the type of venue you require for your meeting according to your company policies and procedures
  • Provide us with an outline budget, agenda and timings
  • Assist us in providing details of meeting content (including speakers), subsistence, hospitality and all associated materials i.e. handouts, materials and invitations
  • Timelines for decision- making

REMEMBER: All of these aspects are important to the successful delivery of your meeting and then how the meeting will be perceived by the health care professional.

The overall consideration given from combining all of these elements will help determine whether the meeting is compliant or not.
