Why we work with healthcare professionals

Healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies regularly work together, from early scientific research and clinical trial programmes to the use of medicines in the patient pathway. As an integral part of the medicines development and ongoing clinical review process, it is entirely appropriate that fees are paid to healthcare professionals to reimburse them for their time and expertise.

Bristol Myers Squibb engages Consultants for services required to fill a legitimate business or scientific need of the company. They are used where requisite resources or expertise may not be available from other sources and have not otherwise been provided.

Patients benefit from such collaboration through the continued development and use of innovative treatments and guidance that can improve and extend life.
