Summary

Even though the Nordic countries are similar in many ways, there are significant differences when it comes to pharmaceutical marketing compliance guidelines.

At this one day Nordic Compliance Seminar, we clarify the most important differences and alleviate uncertainties that compliance professionals come across when working in the Nordic region and interacting with healthcare professionals.


The course includes topics like
  • Ethics Committees’ role in pharmaceutical compliance in the Nordics.
  • Digital/virtual promotional and non-promotional communication targeted healthcare professionals (HCPs).
  • Meetings, events and other interactions with HCPs.
  • Pharmaceutical advertising: differences between the Nordic countries.

To gain the greatest benefits from the course, we recommend that you take this e-learning course “The Danish Pharmaceutical Industry's Promotional Code” in advance.


What are the advantages of participating on location?
  • You can participate in a Tapas & Networking event (16.00-17.00).
  • You get an extra Q&A session in the afternoon.
  • Overall, in our experience, course participants greatly appreciate the networking that’s possible when meeting face-to-face in the physical space.
