Disclosure

Following the temporary change to the publication of 2019 data on Disclosure UK at the end of June 2020, where aggregate data was published for health professionals and healthcare organisations, the ABPI has announced that it intends to publish the detailed 2019 data on      27 November 2020 in the usual way. 

This means the 2019 data will be disaggregated as in previous years and the ABPI will contact health professionals and healthcare organisations as part of the process.  For full information please go to the ABPI website.

For details about the temporary change to the publication of the data on Disclosure UK in June 2020 please refer to the ABPI website.  During this time companies were encouraged to publish the detailed 2019 data on their own websites.

The links to the Disclosure template forms for the submission of 2018 data and for the submission of previous data (2016 and 2017) are both available to download from Publications. The changes made to the disclosure template in March 2019 are outlined below.

Following the publication of the 2019 Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry a new ABPI disclosure template must now be used by companies making disclosures of transfers of value to healthcare professionals (HCPs) and healthcare organisations (HCOs) for 2018.The following changes and requirements are included in the new template: 

▪ Make the link to the executive summary optional for inclusion in the template. If the link is not in the template it must be included in the methodological note (as required by Clause 24.1).

▪ Removal of the option to put payments to healthcare organisations in aggregate.

▪ To require companies to provide totals (previously optional) and to add notes to make it clear what is required. A warning has also been added to remind companies that individuals might appear in more than one of the categories, ie receive a fee for service and expenses.

▪ To add notes to make it clear that data in columns headed ‘registration fees’, ‘travel and accommodation’, ‘fees for service’ and ‘related expenses agreed’ relate to that column.

▪ To add a note to make it clear that the methodological note must include the number of individuals who have agreed to some payments being disclosed individually and others in aggregate.
