Awareness of the ABPI Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry amongst doctors has increased significantly over the last two years - 84% of GPs and 62% of hospital doctors are now aware of the Code compared with just 65% of GPs and 40% of hospital doctors at the beginning of 2006. This is a result of activities since the launch of the 2006 Code including the Code Awareness Days held in April 2006 and May 2007.

Please support Code Awareness Week 2008 by allocating time for sales representatives and others who have contact with external stakeholders to promote the Code to customers, doctors, pharmacists, nurses and NHS management as part of their regular programme of calls this week.

Note: This year PMCPA staff are offering to attend a limited number of 'Code-Busters' sessions with your employees during Code Awareness Week
