Peter this is interesting - possibly the first healthcare / pharma session I've seen suggested. Thanks Rebecca ThinkingPharma.com

As an employee of the pharma industry, I'm very much looking forward to discussion of this topic. The level of regulation is (or at least feels) prohibitive to the grassroots, bottom-up type of social media presence you see cropping up by ground-level employees in other industries. The company/customer (patient) relationship is also very different than it is for consumer products. Throw in the topic of direct-to-consumer marketing for pharmaceuticals. It's a particularly tricky thing to navigate in this industry.
