The challenge

Turn compliance policies into everyday practice

A growing portfolio, new markets and competing priorities can expose gaps between written policies and what teams actually do. Unclear approval routes, inconsistent records and reactive training make it harder to demonstrate that controls work. We help connect your framework to the activities, people and decisions it needs to govern.

Who this service is for

For compliance and legal leaders, Medical Affairs teams and business owners in pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Support can begin with a first compliance programme, a specific control gap or the improvement of an established framework.

How delivery works

We agree the scope around your activities and markets, review existing controls and prioritise the gaps. The work can combine policies and SOPs, responsibilities, risk assessments, training, monitoring and remediation. Implementation includes the approval routes and evidence requirements your teams need to use the programme in practice.

The rules behind this service

Frameworks we work to

A UK programme is usually assessed against both industry codes and the law. These are the main frameworks we design controls around; the right set depends on your activities and markets.

Start here

2024 ABPI Code of Practice

Took effect on 1 October 2024, with a transition period to 31 December 2024, and is administered by the PMCPA independently of the ABPI. Clause 24 addresses contracted services, including legitimate need, selection, advance contracting and remuneration reflecting fair market value.

UK Bribery Act 2010, section 7

A commercial organisation can be liable for failing to prevent bribery by persons associated with it, such as agents and service providers. Having adequate procedures in place is a defence.

Failure to prevent fraud (ECCTA 2023)

The corporate offence introduced by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 has applied since 1 September 2025, and belongs in the assessment of third-party and commercial controls.

Questions, answered

Healthcare Compliance Programme Design and Implementation FAQs

How do I set up a pharmaceutical compliance programme?

Establish governance, roles, practical policies and SOPs, approval and monitoring processes, evidence requirements and role-based training aligned to applicable obligations.

What is audit readiness?

A continuous state in which documentation, controls, evidence and governance are embedded in routine operations rather than assembled immediately before an audit.

What is included in a compliance audit?

Scope may include document review, operational testing, interviews, system walkthroughs, risk-rated findings and a practical remediation roadmap.

Can you support PMCPA readiness and remediation?

Yes. Support can assess governance, procedures, approvals, training, HCP engagement, FMV, transparency, monitoring and certification against relevant expectations.

How is an effective CAPA plan structured?

It identifies root causes, actions, accountable owners, due dates, dependencies and effectiveness checks, with progress tracked through governance.

Can compliance training be tailored?

Yes. Training can be adapted by role, market, process and system using classroom, virtual, e-learning or blended delivery with effectiveness measures.
