Quick Tips:
The number of Advisory Boards held should be driven by the business need. Key considerations include the number and subjects of previous meetings and the ability to gather meaningful feedback from Consultants. There must be a valid reason to conduct multiple Advisory Boards on the same topic. Consultants are expected to actively engage in these meetings rather than participate passively.

Consultants engaged must be qualified to provide the necessary knowledge, insights, or advice related to the meeting’s purpose. All Consultants must have a signed and executed agreement before any preparatory work for the Advisory Board begins. Compensation to Consultants should be reasonable and reflect Fair Market Value (FMV) for the services provided. Legitimate and reasonable business expenses incurred by Consultants may be reimbursed.

Materials shared with Consultants, both before and during the Advisory Board, should be strictly relevant to the meeting’s objectives. Presentations should not be designed to solicit business. Clinical or scientific information may only be presented to obtain meaningful feedback and must be delivered by a qualified Bausch + Lomb colleague, such as someone from Clinical Development or Medical Affairs.

The number of Consultants at an Advisory Board should be the minimum necessary to meet the business objectives, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to provide meaningful input on each agenda item. Guests of Consultants are not allowed to attend Advisory Boards or related meals. Attendance by Bausch + Lomb colleagues should be limited to those responsible for leading discussions, evaluating insights, or implementing outcomes from the meeting.
Sales associates are not permitted to attend due to the non-promotional nature of Advisory Boards. In exceptional cases, Senior Sales Executives may attend for legitimate business reasons, such as gaining insights on disease state challenges or treatment landscapes. Their role is limited to passive observation, and while brief introductions to attendees are allowed, they must avoid substantive discussions with participants.

At least two-thirds of the Advisory Board meeting time should be dedicated to gathering feedback and conducting work sessions with Consultants. Meetings should be structured to encourage active and meaningful participation. The advice received should be summarized or documented by the Bausch + Lomb Advisory Board Project Owner or a pre-approved agency partner managing event logistics. Reliance solely on tools like Audience Response Systems, questionnaires, or surveys (without facilitating an environment for interactive discussion) is insufficient for substantive engagement.
The advice gathered should be shared with relevant colleagues who can benefit from it, consistent with the objectives of the Advisory Board meeting.
Documentation related to the Advisory Board should be maintained by the Bausch + Lomb Advisory Board Project Owner.
