Interacting appropriately with patient organisations

UCB collaborates with a number of patient organisations, either by providing financial support, advice or working together on joint initiatives. We have established procedures to ensure that our relationships with these organisations are carried out in a fair and transparent manner in accordance with UCB Compliance Guidelines, company procedures, applicable industry codes and legal requirements.  

Our procedures include sections on how to interact with patient organisations and the general public, as well as instructions on how we support, interact and report on our support with these important groups. We formalise our relationships with patient organisations through written agreements, underpinned by a commitment to integrity, transparency, data privacy and independence.
