BHBIA Spotlight on Compliance - 2022

&MEETINGS Aldgate - 150 Minories, London EC3N 1LS
Thursday 09 June 2022, 9:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Managing Compliance: Spotlight on Compliance Seminar
This seminar will put the spotlight on what good compliance looks like so that you can make sure that your company meets the highest professional standards. It is aimed specifically at those with an interest in and/or responsibility for compliance within their organisations and will be an energetic and engaging seminar packed with short, sharp presentations, plenty and varied opportunities for interaction and regular breaks.

The focus will be on the practical management of compliance - understanding different perspectives, integrating compliance into BI processes, finding business-friendly solutions and communicating clearly. It’s an opportunity to swap notes, not just with compliance specialists, but with your peers in healthcare BI. The presenters are all members of the BHBIA’s Ethics & Compliance Committee.

The course will assume a good background knowledge of the BHBIA Legal and Ethical Guidelines and the ABPI/BHBIA Guidance for Adverse Event Reporting.
