Advice on the Code

Publication of updated Code of Practice delayed

The publication of the recently updated ABPI Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry has been delayed.

The amendments to the Code were based on the anticipated changes to the new regulations (The Human Medicines Regulations 2012)which were due to be published last month and become law on 2 July 2012. These regulations are yet to be published. Once the regulations are finalised, the Second 2012 Edition of the Code will be made available.
