ETHICS will hold its Annual General Assembly on 12-13 November 2020 and goes online for safety reasons. Registrations are now open and you can follow this link to register. ETHICS gathers a strong community of international experts in Healthcare Compliance. The General Assembly is the best time to take stock and look forward.

The ETHICS Strategic Committee has decided that during this phase of the COVID-19 crisis, ETHICS will take two new initiatives. FIRST, special editions of the ETHICS In Action newsletter will be published weekly in order to keep ETHICS members up-to-date on major healthcare, ethics and compliance issues related to the pandemic. SECOND, ETHICS will be organizing a series of Webinars for ETHICS members and non-members relating to topics of relevance for Healthcare Compliance Officers. The objective is to allow healthcare compliance officers to discuss challenges brought about by the COVID-19 crisis.
