The CGR Code of Conduct for Pharmaceutical Advertising describes regulations regarding the advertising of medication to healthcare professionals that have a license to prescribe medication. Click here for the Code of Conduct. The congress organisation is oblidged to respect the CGR code of Conduct.
Due to the variety of attendees at DHC and our aim to promote the interaction between all groups, the congress organisation decided that only corporate (“non branded”) sponsorship exposure is allowed. Of course, the organisation understands that sponsors value the opportunity to discuss their product with the attendees. To meet the CGR Code of Conduct, sponsors are only allowed to approach the healthcare professionals that have a license to prescribe medication. The congress organisation uses different name badges to distinguish the professionals with a license to discribe medication from those who're not and make them easy to recognize for the sponsors.
