UK expertise · Practical delivery
For compliance, medical, commercial and market access teams in pharmaceutical and biotech companies operating in the UK, from a first ABPI Code induction for a growing biotech to a refresh of an established global programme.
Generic e-learning struggles with complex content, information overload and relevance to each role. People complete the module but still do not know who owns a decision, when to escalate or how the Code applies to the material or meeting in front of them. We design training around those decisions.
From requirements to action
Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables can include:
Training is tailored for compliance, medical, commercial and market access teams in pharmaceutical and biotech companies. We agree the modules and delivery format around the decisions each role makes and the policies and systems it uses.
Learning built around the work
These examples draw on our role-based compliance training matrix. They are starting points for a tailored programme; we agree the learning depth, delivery format and scope around your teams’ responsibilities.
Practise a customer interaction or event-planning decision. Identify the approved material, missing engagement evidence and the point at which to escalate.
Practice outcome: Explain the decision, locate the relevant procedure and identify the records to retain.
Work through a submission, its claims and references, then compare review comments. Adapt the exercise to the learner’s channel and review responsibilities.
Practice outcome: Prepare a complete submission or explain a review decision and resolve conflicting comments.
Evaluate an exception, consider the control gap and identify who owns the decision and follow-up. Connect the discussion to governance and ABAC responsibilities.
Practice outcome: Document the rationale, conditions, owner and escalation route.
Trace a payment towards disclosure, or route an incomplete workflow request. Focus on recipient data, reconciliation, responsibilities and preserving the history.
Practice outcome: Identify missing evidence and make the next hand-off traceable.
Our effective training guide focuses on applying knowledge to real decisions. A suggested session sequence is:
Use our PMCPA case library to explore topics such as social media, certification and prescribing information. Read the linked official case report before drawing conclusions; each ruling depends on its facts and applicable Code.
Tell us which teams and markets are involved, the activities they carry out, and where current training leaves gaps. Your policies and SOPs help connect the sessions to everyday work.

The rules in the UK
UK pharmaceutical training obligations come from the industry code and from anti-bribery and fraud guidance. These are the main frameworks we design training around. Each summary links to its official source below.
All relevant personnel, including representatives, staff and contractors involved in preparing or approving material or activities covered by the Code, must be fully conversant with the Code and the relevant laws and regulations. Representatives must pass an appropriate accredited examination within two years of starting in the role.
The Ministry of Justice guidance on adequate procedures expects bribery prevention policies and procedures to be embedded and understood through communication, including training, proportionate to the risks the organisation faces.
The ECCTA 2023 guidance sets out six principles: top level commitment, risk assessment, proportionate risk-based prevention procedures, due diligence, communication (including training), and monitoring and review.
