How the Pharmaceutical Industry Influences UK's Parliamentary Groups & Why It Matters, with Emily Rickard
Show Notes

Continuing our exploration of the pharmaceutical industry's influence on health and health policy at a global level, in this podcast, Dr. Eeks has a conversation with Emily Rickard about her research on how the industry influences the UK's All-Party Parliamentary Groups. She will explain what the All-Party Parliamentary Groups, particularly the health-related ones, are and what they do. She'll talk about both the direct and indirect ways the pharmaceutical industry influences those groups and why that matters from both a transparency issue and a health-policy one.
Emily is a researcher and doctoral student with the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Bath.
