  • Reimbursement for attending a symposium?
NoNoNo
  • A fee for speaking?
NoNoOn one occasion I received £500 from Sanofi-Synthelabo for giving a talk at a GP meeting. I put this in a departmental travel fund.

NoNoNo

Yes (for RCTs in which I’ve chaired the DSMB)NoNo
  • Funds for a member of staff?
NoNoNo
  • Fees for consulting?
YesNoNo
2. Have you in the past five years been employed by an organisation that may in any way gain or lose financially from an existing relationship with the BMJPG ora reasonably conceivable future relationship?Yes, you publish the journal (Evidence Based Medicine) that I started with Brian HaynesNoI have been employed by the University of Oxford and am currently an employee of the University of Edinburgh. Both of these universities stand to gain from publications in any reputable medical journal because of the link between university funding and "research productivity" in the UK’s Research Assessment Exercise.
  • Do you hold any stocks or shares in an organisation?
NoNoI have a few shares in non pharmaceutical, non medical technology companies, which would not stand to gain or lose from publication of papers in the BMJ or indeed any other journal. I also have some investment plans and an endowment, which are managed on my behalf by the financial companies in charge of these schemes. The funds are likely to be invested in a variety of stocks and shares but I have no control over them and no idea what they are.
  • Do you have any other competing financial interests?
Dave Sackett has been wined, dined, supported, transported, and paid to speak by countless pharmaceutical firms for over 40 years, beginning with two research fellowships and interest free loans that allowed him to stay to finish medical school. Dozens of his randomised trials have been supported in part (but never in whole) by pharmaceutical firms, who never received or analysed primary data and never had veto power over any reports, presentations, or publications of the results. He has twice worked as a paid consultant to advise pharmaceutical firms whether their products caused lethal side effects; on both occasions he told them "yes." He has testified as an unpaid expert witness for a stroke victim who successfully sued a manufacturer of oral contraceptives, and as a paid expert in preparing a class action suit against a manufacturer of prosthetic heart valves. He was paid by a pharmaceutical firm to develop "levels of evidence" for determining the causation of adverse drug reactions. His wife inherited and sold stock in a pharmaceutical company. While head of a division of medicine he enforced the banning of drug detail personnel from clinical teaching units (despite the threat of withdrawal of drug industry funding for resident research projects). He received the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers’ Association of Canada Medal of Honour (and cash) for "Contributions to Medical Science in Canada" for the decade 1984-94. One of his recent awards (the 2002 Senior Investigator Award of the Canadian Society of Internal Medicine) was sponsored by Merck Frosst Canada.NoNo
