Disclosure UK
The relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare professionals (HCPs) and healthcare organisations (HCOs) plays a vital role in the development and delivery of life-enhancing and life-saving medicines.
It is a relationship that we are proud of. At the core of the relationship is sharing knowledge to improve outcomes for patients. We want to ensure that patients and others have confidence that this relationship is open and transparent and this is why the pharmaceutical industry is taking the lead on disclosing details of payments and other benefits in kind made by industry to HCPs and HCOs.
This information will be published on the database - Disclosure UK.

Best practice guidance: Supporting patient organisations to report industry funding
The ABPI Code of Practice places requirements on industry to publish annual lists of payments to patient organisations, and we endorse this approach. Currently, there is no similar requirement for those patient organisations in receipt of grants or funds from industry. In response, the ABPI has put together some advice for local disclosure mechanisms, based on current practice among industry.
