Advocacy Relations

The pharmaceutical industry has long recognised the importance of developing and maintaining close relationships with opinion leaders who add clinical, scientific practical advice and add credibility. They may include professional and patient groups, as well as individual clinicians, patients and careers. The key to success with these alliances is to work towards an agreed, mutually beneficial outcome and to ensure that dialogue is meaningful.

FD Santé’s expertise and experience in creating influential alliances has been consistently proven. Amongst other activities, we have set up and managed advisory boards, steering committees, editorial groups and task forces in a range of disease areas and across a range of stakeholder interests.

We have established press offices for a number of patient and professional groups, created international coalitions of clinical and patient groups, run therapy briefings for interest groups, organised professional meetings, run skills training workshops for patient groups and worked with third party organisations to conduct and publicise research.
