* Understand and address the unique medical needs and attributes of accounts (e.g. educational needs, pathways).
* Maintain in-depth knowledge of assigned therapeutic areas and GSK medicines to serve as a medical resource to both customers and internal colleagues. Understand the landscape and prepare to address the educational needs of customers.
* Adhere to GSK's Code of Conduct, policies and standards, and relevant ways of working documents. Ensure all activities are conducted in a compliant manner, reflecting GSK's commitment to transparency, respect, integrity, and patient focus.
