Rules of conduct and the pharmaceutical industry.
Lancet 1984 Feb 25; 1:(8374):453
Abstract:
The Code of Practice of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry does not distinguish between matters of professional conduct and matters of law. There are obvious advantages for the industry if matters of law can be diverted from the courts and into the Code of Practice Committee.
