Falling out with pharma

摘要

In response to Richard Horton's Offline piece "Falling out with pharma" -{Feb 2, p 358),1 I'd like to clarify that the Guidance on collaboration between healthcare professionals and the pharmaceutical industry7 is not a document produced by the Associ- ation of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), nor is it led by the ABPI, but is something that was agreed across the group of organisations that signed up to it. The guidance is a live document and is reviewed regularly (the next scheduled review will take place this month) to ensure that it represents best practice across all the organisations involved.
