How does the Code fit in with UK law?

The promotion of medicines is specifically set out in the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (2012 No.1916). Companies must adhere to many other relevant UK laws, including but not limited to the Bribery Act 2010. The ABPI Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry incorporates the requirements of the Human Medicines Regulations and other relevant laws and regulations and also goes beyond the requirements of UK law.
