How to H<strong>and</strong>le Uninvited Guests<br />

<strong>Orange</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> – Chapter 9: Speaker Programs for HCPs<br />

Q. What should I do if an HCP brings a spouse or guest who is not otherwise an<br />

appropriate attendee to a speaker program? Is it OK for the guest to stay if the<br />

HCP agrees to pay for his or her meal?<br />

A. No. You should remind the HCP that <strong>Pfizer</strong> guidelines <strong>and</strong> the PhRMA Code<br />

prohibits guests, spouses or domestic partners from attending <strong>Pfizer</strong> speaker<br />

programs. This is clearly stated on the approved speaker program invitation. If<br />

the guest does not independently qualify as an HCP or other appropriate office<br />

staff attendee, you must respectfully ask that the guest leave the program.<br />

Q. What should I do if I believe that an uninvited HCP belongs to a specialty that is<br />

excluded for the product being discussed at the speaker program I’m<br />

sponsoring?<br />

A. If an uninvited HCP arrives whom you know (or are able to reasonably<br />

ascertain) is subject to an applicable specialty exclusion, you must respectfully<br />

ask that the HCP leave the program.<br />

Your Role During a Speaker Program<br />

Monitor for Consistency with Labeling<br />

The information presented during a speaker program must be consistent with the FDA-approved<br />

labeling for <strong>Pfizer</strong>’s products <strong>and</strong> present a fair balance of the benefits <strong>and</strong> risks.<br />

During the program, you must be prepared to project the RC-approved slide deck from your <strong>Pfizer</strong><br />

laptop <strong>and</strong> you must monitor the presentation to ensure that the speaker’s discussion is consistent<br />

with the slides <strong>and</strong> the product's labeling. You must ensure that the speaker presents appropriate<br />

safety information, consistent with product labeling. If a speaker discusses any product that contains a<br />

“Black Box” warning, you must ensure that the speaker appropriately presents the warning <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Other Safety Information in order to provide a fair <strong>and</strong> balanced presentation. Further, if any attendee<br />

arrives after fair balance content (safety, risks <strong>and</strong> contraindications) has been presented to the<br />

audience, the speaker must review that content with the late attendee(s).<br />

HCPs may not use speaker opportunities to generate business <strong>and</strong> may not distribute business cards<br />

during programs.<br />
