Pfizer
📋 Case Summary
What happened An anonymous, non-contactable complainant raised concerns about two evening meetings held at a named restaurant in April 2017 and October 2017, organised by Pfizer on behalf of the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Alliance. The complainant alleged the meetings were not held in a sufficiently private room (separated by a “thin curtain”), meaning members of the public could hear the talk. The complainant alleged that during both evenings a Pfizer team member asked members of the public to be quiet because their conversations could be heard over the speaker. The complainant alleged that several GPs said they attended only for the food and an unlimited supply of drinks. Pfizer stated the private meeting room was separated from the entrance/bar/service area by a solid wall and a heavy-duty curtain (kept closed during presentations, opened only for food service), the speaker was positioned furthest from the curtain, no audio projection system was used, and there was background music
