Kehoe, who was considered the leading authority on workers industrial exposure to lead, had been the Ethyl Corporation s medical director for many years. The lead industry had built the Kettering Laboratory for him at... 

Kehoe was a smooth and practiced expert witness at government and judicial hearings. He opened his testimony by boasting that he knew more about lead than anyone else in the world. He boasted that he had served as the Ethyl Corporation s medical director because I was the only person who was familiar with the toxicology of tetraethyl lead and with the occupational hazards associated with its manufacture and distribution.. . . In developing the information on this subject (lead), I have had a greater responsibility than any other person in this country. Kehoe proudly...

Formerly Head of Clinical Pharmacology at Wellcome Research Laboratories, then Medical Director Rhone-Poulenc and Visiting Professor at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

The size of the honorarium should reflect the amount of inconvenience that the study causes to the participant, and not the perceived risk. It is best decided by relatively disinterested parties, such as a medical director in consultation with a senior research nurse. The sum must be submitted for lEC approval with the protocol and is non-negotiable. 

The medical department is usually headed by a senior pharmaceutical physician (the medical director), who is supported by a team consisting of other physicians, graduates and administrative staff. The non-medical graduates are normally pharmacists or life scientists and, in addition to providing informed scientific input, may look after some administrative areas. In some companies they, rather than the physicians, may be responsible for staff management, thus allowing the physicians to concentrate on their advisory roles. 

The medical director is, of course, not only a senior pharmaceutical physician but a senior manager and needs to be fully conversant with all the issues facing the company and understand all the principles and procedures which... 

The facts of the case and question and answer documents should be prepared. Key members of such a team are therefore the medical director, or a designate, senior managers who are able to quickly implement actions, a legal adviser if appropriate, and a member of the public relations/communications department, who knows how to communicate the team s outputs effectively. 

It is undoubtedly difficult for pharmaceutical physicians, even up to the level of medical director, to have an all-seeing eye as to the perceptions that may prevail in the minds of the recipients of promotional material. What may be entirely clear to the informed approver of material may be entirely unclear in the mind of the uninformed or even informed recipient. After all, if the recipient is misled, no defence is possible that says that material is not misleading. It really is essential for the approver of promotional material to stand back and say to him/herself Is what we say capable of misleading or being misimderstood . As an Appeals Board member, I would say that at least half the complaints that come to the PMCPA relate to Clauses 7.2, 7.3, 7.4 and 7.10 of the Code. These relate to accuracy, balance, fairness, objectivity, lack of ambiguity and the full reflection of the total and up-to-date evidence comparisons must be carefully and appropriately presented information claims or comparisons must be capable of substantiation. So often defences presented by companies are ill-prepared and...

The Cooperative is a not-for-profit organization that operates in downtown Oakland. A physician serves as medical director, and registered nurses staff the Cooperative during business hours. To become a member, a patient must provide a written statement from a treating physician assenting to marijuana therapy and must submit to a screening interview. If accepted as a member, the patient receives an identification card entitling him to obtain marijuana from the Cooperative.
