Code of Conduct - Question & Answers
January
2005
Question 1:
We are a third party supplier to the pharma industry and will
be managing logistics for a large product launch event next
year. We would like to obviously ensure that we remain within
Rx&D guidelines and I am writing to inquire if we provide
a free shuttle bus service for
centrally located audience participants, is this permitted.
I understand that travel and accommodations for program faculty
is allowed. Considering the event will take place at peak
rush hour in the downtown Toronto core, the shuttle can pick
them up at downtown offices/hospitals instead of having them
drive and park.
Response:
The decision will depend on the definition of the “centrally
located audience”.
[If the audience in question is members of the Advisory Board
for the product in questions then this will meet the code.
However if the audience refers to the general health professional
population then this will not be in alignment with the Code.]
