Optimising the NHS – How will medicines be valued in integrated systems?

Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

How will medicines be valued in the newly integrated world of the NHS? What are the risks and benefits of a single national formulary? What else is changing? And what does this mean for market access?

Ellen Rule (Programme Director of the Gloucestershire Integrated Care System [ICS] and Director of Transformation and Service Redesign, Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group [CCG]) joins Tom Clarke (Director, Mtech Access) to explore all this and more.
Tom Clarke and Ellen Rule discuss the key points highlighted in her recent proposals ‘The systematisation of medicines optimisation: Why medicines optimisation is a priority for integrated care systems and how it can be improved’, including:

• The risks and benefits of a single national formulary and what this means for market access
• How to support system and local networks to implement pan-ICS approaches to medicines optimisation
• How industry can distinguish their product in this new world where systems become automated to substitute generics and biosimilars for branded medicines

Ellen and Tom discussed the implications of this paper, and the broader context of value in integrated care.
