 **Increasing Transparency - Transfers of Value to Healthcare Professionals and Organisations**

Novartis collaborates with Healthcare Professionals and Healthcare Organisations to advance patient care and is committed to openly communicating transfers of value related to these relationships.

**Increasing Transparency, what you should know**

Collaborative working between healthcare professionals and pharmaceutical companies has long been a driver for advancements in patient care and innovative medicine.

**What?**

The type of collaborations include:

- Clinical trials and research
- Grants
- Patient education and awareness initiatives
- Attendence at scientific congresses, educational meetings, advisory boards
- Training

Both parties regularly collaborate during early scientific research, clinical trials and medical education in the interest of delivering and advancing high quality patient care.

**Who?**

This relates to all healthcare professionals (e.g. clinicians, GPs, nurses) and their organisations (e.g. hospitals).

IPHA (Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association) makes public details of certain transfers of value (i.e. payments/benefits in kind) made to healthcare professionals and their organisations.
