LEO Pharma’s Post

As Pride month comes to a close and we commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Inn Riots, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on our Pride Every Day commitment across LEO Pharma. Hear what our LEO allies from across the business have to say about what this means to us.   Because the month might be ending – but our commitment doesn’t. We're proud of the steps we've taken to honor the LGBTQ+ community and promote inclusivity this month and are more energized than ever to keep going.  We’ll continue to champion inclusion every day, creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and free to show up at work as their true selves each day. #PrideEveryDay #InclusionMatters #LEOPharma

Today, our Head of Medical Excellence & Affiliate Operations, Karin Madsen, addressed attendees of the 6th Annual Global Medical Affairs Summit. Karin discussed significant transformations in medical affairs over recent years, emphasizing the evolving scientific and strategic leadership competencies required to drive this change. She also shared strategies for identifying, shaping and role modeling these competencies – and presented methods for attracting, retaining and developing top medical affairs talent and leaders.   Big thanks to Karin for sharing her unique insights with the medical affairs community today. This is simply critical to delivering innovative therapies to people living with unmet medical needs.   #LEOPharma #DermatologyBeyondTheSkin #MedicalAffairs

It is #PrideMonth, and at #LEOPharma, we are ringing it in with 'Pride Every Day' 🌈 The theme 'Pride Every Day' reflects our collective belief that support for the #LGBTQ+ Community extends beyond June as a year-round commitment. It is, in fact, integrated in our everyday conduct, fostering a workplace culture that celebrates diversity, promotes inclusion and encourages allyship. LEO Pharma stands in support of the LGBTQ+ community, respecting the values that Pride represents and creating a more inclusive environment. To honor and celebrate the vibrant spirit of this month, we have planned a series of internal events and initiatives that will keep the momentum going throughout the year – with stories and reflections to inspire us beyond June! #DermatologyBeyondTheSkin #PrideCelebration #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #Allyship

This International Clinical Trials Day, LEO Pharma takes a moment to honor and celebrate the efforts of healthcare heroes working behind the scenes, ie, professionals involved in clinical trials. 🌟 By helping transform science into life-changing treatments while prioritizing safety and well-being of the people taking part in clinical trials, they not only help improve patient quality of life, but also shape the future of patient care. Clinical trials help advance science and fuel the development of new treatment options.

Today is #WorldHandHygieneDay 🌍 – an annual reminder of the importance of maintaining clean and healthy hands. At #LEOPharma, this day – May 5 ✋✋ – is also a reminder of our commitment as a leader in medical dermatology to addressing the needs of people living with #ChronicHandEczema (CHE) – a condition that affects up to 10% of the world’s population. (CHE is hand eczema that lasts for more than three months, or relapses twice or more often within a year.) Over the course of the week, we have highlighted some of the circumstances behind this overlooked and under-appreciated condition that impacts individuals as well as society. At LEO Pharma, we understand and recognize the challenges people living with CHE face every day, and we persistently strive to make a fundamental difference for those who need us most. #CHEawarenessweek #DermatologyBeyondTheSkin  #LetsTalkAboutCHE

#ChronicHandEczema (CHE) not only impacts everyday lives of people living with the condition – it can also impose an economic strain on the society. #LEOPharma aims to forge a path with its expertise to bring solutions to the challenges of such disabling skin conditions. #DermatologyBeyondTheSkin #CHEawarenessweek #LetsTalkAboutCHE
