Can life science PhDs be signatories to the Code?
The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA https://www.efpia.eu/) sets out the requirements for signatories and this does not include individuals with a PhD.
The professional codes of registered medical practitioners and UK registered pharmacists include obligations to patients which is an important factor.
Further information on signatories to the Code can be found in Clauses 8.1 and 8.2.
