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.

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.
