More doctors must apply for authorisation to cooperate with the pharmaceutical industry from 1 July 2011

If a Danish doctor or dentist wishes to establish a relationship with, be employed at, or run a pharmaceutical company and at the same time prescribe medicines to patients, he or she must apply to the Danish Medicines Agency for permission to do so. An amendment to the Danish Pharmacy Act as of 1 July 2011 means however that in future, Chief Medical or Dental Officers who do not prescribe medicine will in certain cases also be comprised by the Act.
