Welcome to the Deep Dive, a podcast specifically designed for compliance officers in UK pharmaceutical companies. This program offers a shortcut to being exceptionally well informed on recent rulings from the Prescription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA).

Each episode aims to dissect the panel's decisions and pull out practical, actionable lessons that can be used to strengthen your company's compliance framework and lift industry standards. It provides crucial insights into how the ABPI code of practice is being interpreted and evolving.

The podcast explores various facets of pharma compliance, including cases related to:

• Complexities of digital communication and the burden of proof.
• The impact of seemingly simple errors in communications, such as misleading subject lines.
• Challenges of promoting medicines at scientific congresses, particularly concerning unlicensed indications.
• Navigating social media compliance, highlighting how even "likes" or "loves" can constitute passive promotion.

Key takeaways emphasised include the importance of the overall impression over disclaimers, rigorously distinguishing promotional from non-promotional activities, precision in all communications, understanding audience targeting, and the power of robust, well-documented, and consistently communicated compliance frameworks as a company's strongest shield. The "Deep Dive" ultimately encourages listeners to consider how their internal checks and training programs are equipping employees to navigate these nuanced, complex compliance challenges.
