With this expertise, the Medical Scientist Liaison provides this expert support to internal customers and external healthcare professionals in a defined geographic area of the UK.

Accountabilities / Measures:
  1. Therapy area experts

    • The MSL will, where appropriate, support the training department in the training of the sales teams by providing in-depth medical and scientific disease area knowledge and product information.
  2. External Engagement
    • The MSL will respond appropriately with accurate scientific data to unsolicited scientific questions from Health Care Professionals (HCPs) for products/brands with a marketing authorisation (on- and off label) and for products in development, all in compliance with company policies and legal and ethical standards and other applicable regulations.
