Dataset for "Comparing pharmaceutical company payments in the four UK countries: a cross-sectional and social network analysis"

This dataset contains all pharmaceutical company payments to healthcare organisations (originally published in Disclosure UK, a database hosted by the Association for the British Pharmaceutical Industry) and patient organisations (originally published on pharmaceutical company websites) in 2015. Following extensive investigative web searches of publicly available organisational data, all recipients have been categorised depending on their role in the healthcare ecosystem and their location in either England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland has been noted. Additional tabs in the dataset provide supplementary descriptive details and a Matrix for each company (indicating the number of recipients targeted by multiple companies).

Data collection method:

This dataset draws on two data sources: 1) Disclosure UK, a database of pharmaceutical industry payments to healthcare organisations in the UK published annually We downloaded the dataset from the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry's website and cleaned the data as part of a previous study, in which we also document the process to preparing the data in detail (Ozieranski et al., 2019a). 2) Payments to patient organisations, individual disclosures published on pharmaceutical company websites annually We downloaded all pharmaceutical industry disclosures published on their individual websites and cleaned the data as part of a previous study, in which we document the process to preparing the data in detail (Ozieranski et al., 2019b) Our dataset combines the above two datasets.
