Key objectives of the MSL include engaging with various community and academic experts, facilitating scientific exchange, and serving as a medical resource. These scientific interactions aim to ensure that healthcare providers—and, when relevant, payers and other decision‑makers—understand the unmet patient and healthcare needs, the evolving treatment landscape, and the benefit–risk profile of GSK medicines; that patients have access to these medicines; and that their safe and appropriate use is promoted through peer‑to‑peer discussions, improving patient outcomes and closing gaps in unmet medical needs.

• Engage with HCPs on emerging data, clinical trials, medical unmet needs, patient barriers to access, market dynamics, and educate on disease state and product information.
• Contribute to medical strategy by collecting and communicating medical insights throughout the product lifecycle and understanding the potential impact of these insights.
• Demonstrate strategic territory planning and management and appropriate identification, mapping, and planning of scientific engagements in territory with key accounts and aligned with medical strategy.

• 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.
• Execute all administrative responsibilities, training, and documentation requirements in a timely manner.
• Participate in Field Medical and cross-enterprise projects and teams that support medical strategies and tactics.
