Working with Corporate Partners - our policy statement

We have a history of working with a range of pharmaceutical and other companies with an interest in encephalitis. We also work with other stakeholders as we believe that our supporters want us to work in partnership with key players; from academics, the Department of Health and health professionals, to corporate partners including pharmaceutical companies. We believe it is important to maintain co-operative relationships with companies that manufacture and market drugs used by people affected by encephalitis, but under no circumstances will these or other companies influence our strategic direction, activities or what we say.
