Explore examples of how collaboration and partnership can support delivery of NHS priorities and enable the ‘triple win’ - of improved patient outcomes, more efficient use of NHS resources and evidence of impact for industry – as well as replication and scaling across the NHS.
NHS engagement
Working with patients and patient organisations - 2022 sourcebook for industry
The ABPI has produced this sourcebook to support pharmaceutical companies, patients and patient organisations work together successfully, with relationships that are in the interests of patients and meet the standards set out in the 2021 ABPI Code of Practice.
A new ambition for cross-sector collaboration
The UK Life Sciences Industrial Strategy should be required reading for every healthcare leader in the UK. It makes clear that the NHS must be an active participant with industry in delivering the shared objective of outstanding patient outcomes.
Simplifying cross-sector working between NHS Integrated Care Systems
This guidance has been developed by the AHSN Network and the ABPI.
Working with patient organisations
Our ambition is to put patients at the heart of what we do, developing and delivering medicines which can have the most impact on people’s health and wellbeing. ABPI is committed to embedding system-wide patient and public involvement across the life sciences research sector.
Patient & public involvement
ABPI Patient Engagement Strategy
Our strategy sets out how the ABPI will deliver our commitments and make sure that patient engagement is consistently at the heart of our work.
Patient and public involvement in research
Involving the public and patients as equal partners in the discovery and development of medicines is vital. The ABPI works with patient organisations and our members to improve how this is done.
Academic collaboration
Academic collaboration
A quarter of a million people are employed in the UK’s life science sector today. We need a continuous supply of specialists to stay competitive, meet the demands of an evolving, technology-based world and pioneer the next wave of medicines and vaccines.
Links between industry & academia
The UK is recognised worldwide as a leader in medical research and innovation, and the foundations for collaborations between industry and academia in the UK are exceptionally strong.
