This is a reminder that the EFPIA Code on the Promotion of Prescription-Only Medicines to, and Interactions with, Healthcare Professionals (EFPIA COP
) was updated on the 24 June 2013.
National codes therefore need to be by 31 December 2013, which means that 2014 will see a change in all national codes to reflect the revisions.
Revisions to the EFPIA COP include:
Amendment to Article 10 (previously Article 9) on Events & Hospitality, Article 17 (previously Article 10) on Gifts, and introducing a new Article 9 on Informational & Educational Materials, and Items of Medical Utility
