NHS Industry Collaboration

The UK should aspire to nothing less than a health and care system that delivers the best patient outcomes in the world. We believe that a strong partnership between NHS and industry is the best way to achieve this and improve outcomes for patients now and in the future.

Together we can:

• Deliver projects that improve patient outcomes, create efficiencies within the NHS and reduce health inequalities for people across the UK
• Create an innovation-ready NHS that can embrace new approaches to prevention and treatment
• Make the best use of data to enhance NHS research capability, generate real world evidence and allow new ways of working that help improve the patient experience and free up staff time

Collaborations allow companies and the NHS to pool skills, experience and resources to deliver projects that support the appropriate use of medicines in line with local or national guidance.

These projects provide a triple win – benefiting patients, the NHS and pharmaceutical companies – but have improving patient care or helping the NHS as their primary objective.
