Pharma funding of patient groups made transparent December 2006 The Handbook of Patient Groups, a new publication launched by Binley’s, will make the funds donated by pharmaceutical companies to patient groups transparent for the first time. As well as containing the names of donor pharmaceutical companies and the amount of money donated, the Handbook provides contact information for 301 patient groups listed within 23 disease areas and 51 subcategories. Clive Nead, Editorial Director at PatientView said: “The patient movement has grown enormously over the past few decades – as has the scale of its influence on NHS policymaking. However, whole areas of the movement remain ill-understood by the public, and patient groups are sometimes criticised for their supposed opaqueness. The Handbook of Patient Groups improves the transparency of the patient movement to benefit not only the groups, doctors and patients, but everyone who works in healthcare”. The Handbook of Patient Groups provides useful information for anybody who needs to contact these influential organisations. This includes GPs, pharmacies, patient groups, medical products companies and the pharmaceutical industry. Each entry also details other useful additional information including each group’s revenue, history, geographical remit, charity commission registration and company registration (with number and date). Jim Benham, Head of Publishing at Binley’s said: “As an established provider of health and care information, Binley’s is delighted to publish The Handbook of Patient Groups 2007. Whether you are a patient, a healthcare professional, or someone who works elsewhere within the private, public, or voluntary sectors, I trust that you will find this publication both useful and informative”. The Handbook of Patient Groups is authored by PatientView, a global research and publishing organisation that works closely with health and social campaigning groups worldwide.

Their growing portfolio of marketing services includes PCO segmentation, a syndicated activity data service and territory optimisation.
