At Trinity Event Solutions, we offer a free venue finding service specifically tailored to the needs of our pharmaceutical clients. We understand the pressures of the industry and the crucial role that meetings play in communicating new ideas and developments, but organising them can be time-consuming and problematic. That’s where we can help.

Our experienced team has a thorough understanding of compliance from both a UK and International perspective, including ABPI, EFPIA and IFPMA.  We take the time to understand your company's internal policies and procedures for approval before making your booking. We know that meetings are an essential means of communication for healthcare organisations and the pharmaceutical industry, however we also know that their planning, organisation and execution must comply with the relevant codes of relevant regulatory and country-specific legal guidelines.  This ensures that events, venues, promotions and hospitality are not inappropriately used to induce healthcare professionals to prescribe certain pharmaceutical products.

Pharma Meeting Regulations

In the UK, Clause 19 of the ABPI (Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry) Code of Practice 2008 specifically focuses on regulations covering ‘Meetings and Hospitality’ between the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare professionals.

Other regulations, such as EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations) pertain to member companies across Europe, and IFPMA (International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations) applies worldwide. Member companies must comply with the applicable national codes of member associations where such codes exist.

In countries where there are no local codes or regulations, or where a member company is not affiliated with a local/regional association, the IFPMA Code 2006 acts as a default standard and its operating procedures apply. Some national regulatory guidelines are legally binding, but in most cases the industry is self-regulatory, with pharma companies agreeing to abide by the guidelines and taking them very seriously.

Each pharma company has its own meetings and hospitality policy, which in some cases is more stringent than the local guidelines, so it is always best to check the company’s internal policies and procedures for approval before making your booking.

Becky Kendall

Team Leader

I joined in 2010 venue finding for clients that came to us via venuefinder.com, I then went on to support one key pharmaceutical company. This gave me the stepping stone to become Team Leader for our Pharma Meetings division, looking after our pharmaceutical clients. Now, as Sales Office Manager, alongside Andrea, I am responsible for the smooth and effective running of the Venue Procurement Team, delivering team growth and development, client satisfaction and achievement of company targets. Outside of work I enjoy socialising with friends and family, as well as listening to music and going to the theatre. I also like to indulge in baking (especially cakes)!

Marcia Rebelo

Conference Executive

I joined the Pharma meetings team in September 2023. Prior to joining the team at Trinity Event Solutions, I was a BA French and Hispanic Studies student at the University of Sheffield. This degree has given me the opportunity to complete a year abroad, which included a study placement in Aix and another one in Valencia. This yearlong experience has allowed me to do what I enjoy the most - travelling the world! Alongside my studies, I have acquired 3 years of experience in the Hospitality Industry, having worked at the Belton Woods Hotel, SPA and Golf Resort. In my spare time, I love going to the gym, catching up with friends and family, and going out for meals. I also enjoy playing the ukulele and the guitar to nurture my creative side!
