Leading Canadian health organizations developed the Canadian Consensus Framework for Ethical Collaboration to create a set of ethical standards to guide collaboration among patient organizations, health care professionals and the pharmaceutical industry. The Framework sets out four overarching principles:
- Ensures patients’ best interests are at the core of our activities;
- Promotes transparent and accountable conduct;
- Sets clear rules on gifts, funding and conferences, continuing health education and clinical research; and
- Guides National Ethical leadership.
