Santé Communications

Santé Communications is an independent PR company specialising in healthcare PR.

Selling A Voluntary Code
Following widespread criticism of the UK drug industry in 2005 ABPI launched a revised version of its voluntary code of practice on marketing practices to take effect on January 1, 2006. In January 2006 PR Week reported that ABPI had hired Santé Communications to "handle a 'multi-faceted' campaign targeting all industry stakeholders from April." 

Santé MD Liz Shanahan told PR Week "The industry is often perceived by media and clinical communities to be an aggressive oligarch; in our experience that is not the case."
