GSK launches dedicated website to share knowledge with doctors
Glaxosmithkline (GSK) Pharmaceuticals has launched an online information resource exclusively for medical professionals in Sri Lanka, taking its commitment to the fraternity to a new level.
Accessible to doctors who register and receive a username and password, http://health.gsk.lk/ is the first dedicated website for healthcare professionals by a pharmaceuticals company in Sri Lanka.
Designed to support doctors in their daily practice by providing i nformation as an aid to treatment, the website provides 24 hour access to information on all GSK products marketed in Sri Lanka, the latest news from the company and other medically relevant information.
Describing the new website as a logical progression in the company’s efforts to share knowledge in a transparent manner with t he medical community, Stuart Chapman, Managing Director of GSK Pharmaceuticals in Sri Lanka said: “This will be another channel for GSK to provide scientific information that can be accessed at the convenience of doctors, and will supplement the webinars GSK conducts periodically for them.”
“Sharing the latest knowledge in our possession with medical practitioners around the world is closely linked with the GSK mission of i mproving t he quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer,” Chapman added. “Facilitating the medical fraternity’s access to information directly benefits the quality of patient care.”
The dedicated website contains descriptions of GSK’S products with the latest product information leaflets, enables doctors t o view recorded webinars and find information about upcoming webinars, to report adverse events, submit requests to be contacted or visited by a company representative, and to subscribe to GSK’S newsletters.
Earlier t his year, GSK commenced a series of web seminars or ‘webinars’ to disseminate information to medical professionals on the latest developments in the treatment, management or prevention of diseases. The live webcasts of medical seminars conducted by global specialists have enabled a larger cross section of the medical community in Sri Lanka to access the vast and ever expanding storehouse of knowledge on key diseases and t he latest vaccines. The Company has to date conducted seven such webinars t hat were well attended and commended.
