2. Open Payments: US Federal Transparency Disclosures
Introduction
Close collaboration between Health Care Professionals (HCPs), Health Care Organizations (HCOs) and the pharmaceutical industry is a regular practice that allows drug developers’ access to the knowledge necessary to create lifesaving medicines. In turn, the HCP/HCO community has both the opportunity to influence options available to patients, and obtain knowledge regarding the latest care and treatment. Be it through clinical research, advisory boards, medical education programs, or collaboration on lifesaving medicines – sharing knowledge to improve the lives of patients is the cornerstone of all interactions.
Types of Payments

3. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND PATIENT ORGANISATION TRANSPARENCY DISCLOSURES
In addition to partnering with HCPs and HCOs, Amryt also engages with members of the public, including patients and journalists and patient organizations as they often provide a unique perspective and knowledge that assist us in furthering our goals of creating innovative new treatments. These interactions help us to improve the lives of our patients and are especially critical given the rare and orphan nature of many of the diseases we seek to treat.
In the spirit of acting responsibly and with integrity, we provide transparency of the financial support we provide to these patient organizations. Further, to support our strong foundation of conducting business ethically, we are committed to respecting the independence of these people and organizations and their important work.
