The Relationship

SUMMARYThis brief article reflects on the relationship between psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies (pharma), which continues to generate debate and concerns. We suggest that psychiatrists should consider both the biomedical ethical principles and how values guide actions and clinical decision-making in their dealings with pharma. In addition, the Royal College of Psychiatrists should err towards eschewing influences that might be regarded by others as distorting its position, and individual psychiatrists should declare interests that others might regard as competing/conflicting in order to maintain the trust of patients and the public.DECLARATION OF INTERESTS.M.B. practises as an independent systemic psychotherapist. Both authors have undertaken various roles within the Royal College of Psychiatrists and S.B. is involved in recruiting patients for clinical trials.

Do So

Evidence-based practice requires astute clinicians to blend our best clinical judgment with the best available external evidence and the patient's own values and expectations. Sometimes, we value one more than another during clinical decision-making, though it is never wise to do so, and sometimes other factors that we are unaware of produce unanticipated clinical outcomes. Sometimes, we feel very strongly about one clinical method or another, and hopefully that belief is founded in evidence. Some beliefs, however, are not founded in evidence. The sound use of evidence is the best way to navigate the debates within our field of practice.
