Healthcare communications and education agency Makara Health has launched a new ethics and code compliance training as a division of its learning and development portfolio.
The move is a partnership with ethics and compliance trainer Dr Nick Broughton and the agency aims to “focus on tapping into something deeper than just upskilling” so that it can “truly effect change - either to a situation or personal ability”.
Makara Health founder and managing director Louise Sharp said: “At Makara Health, our learning and development programmes have a reputation for being thought provoking and a bit different.
“Our new Ethics and Code Compliance division with Dr Nick Broughton fits entirely with this ethos.”
From May, Makara Health and Broughton will offer a range of courses on compliance within the ABPI and EFPIA codes of practice, aimed at audiences from senior managers to those involved with marketing materials.
Dr Broughton said: “ I know from client feedback that what I offer is different and engaging, which is why I chose to work with Makara as it aligns to their way of thinking.
“Attendees to my courses often find themselves bemused by actually enjoying compliance training. I work hard to make my sessions fun and interactive rather than a case of learning the ABPI Code by rote.”
Alongside the programme, Broughton is offering a specific course for pharmaceutical physicians covering topics such as clinical research, drug safety, and digital and social media in relation to code compliance.
