Abstract | Without data, many people still think pharmaceutical companies’ influence is negligible, even benevolent. We audited their marketing activities, alongside simple financials. 43/53 Trusts responded to Freedom-of-Information-Act requests. Trusts’ policies varied in prohibiting seven activities: 86% (gifts) to 37% (leaflets). In practice, industry-sponsored training events (51%)/ direct talks (40%) were common (averaging 36 sponsored events/talks per Trust that year). Only 8/36 (22.2%) Trusts provided legally-required Conflicts-of-Interests registers; 5 (14%) had none. |
