  • Conduct informative detailing sessions with HCPs, presenting Haleon’s oral health brands, clinical data, and unique benefits.
  • Recruit HCPs to Haleon’s digital platforms to enable value-added services (e.g., e-consent, HHP registration).
  • Engage HCPs through multiple channels including face-to-face visits, remote calls, webinars, and Veeva CRM emails.
  • Learn to use data and insights to tailor engagement strategies to HCP preferences.
  • Support HCPs in accessing digital tools and resources for patient education and communication.
  • Encourage participation in Haleon’s Continuous Medical Education (CME) modules.
  • Build strong relationships with HCPs through meaningful interactions and understanding of their needs.
  • Distribute medical samples effectively to support patient trials and product conversion.
  • Track and contribute to expert KPIs such as AWR, BRMO, and SoR.
  • Provide feedback on competitor activity and market trends.
  • Assist in organizing educational events such as lunch-and-learns and conferences.
  • Uphold Haleon’s values and compliance standards in all interactions.
  • Maintain accurate sample distribution records in line with cycle plans and strategy.
