Direct distribution – how to safely and effectively implement the model in Polish realities – is the title of a workshop we organized together with DZP on October 4 in Warsaw.
We are aware that changing the distribution model is no small challenge for pharmaceutical companies. However, we hope that our meeting helped to dispel many doubts, both those with legal and business backgrounds, speeding up the decision on the choice of distribution model for your company.
The workshop was attended by 50 representatives of companies in the pharmaceutical market. We talked about the benefits of implementing a direct distribution model and the challenges involved. Representatives of the law firm introduced the legal aspects of implementing this distribution model, and Nettle, in turn, considered DTP and DTH from a business perspective. Representatives of manufacturers also joined our discussion and initiated an interesting exchange of experiences from the position of practitioners. Our meeting was evaluated very positively, so we have already decided to continue this series.
