On International Clinical Trials Day, we're highlighting the importance of clinical trials, without which we would have no new medicines or vaccines.

New blog 🔎 | @ABPI_UK's Sophie Caseby examines the latest @EFPIA_HQ W.A.I.T. report — and what it means for NHS patients.

England ranks 7th in Europe for access to new medicines. But for cancer treatments? 14th.

The data matters. The patients behind it matter more.

Medicines supply issues are relatively rare, but when they happen, they can have a serious impact on patients.

Our new report sets out how to improve the supply chain to anticipate risks and respond quickly when disruption occurs.

Decentralised or hybrid clinical trials can bring research closer to home - boosting access & inclusion.

A new @acmedsci report, supported by us + @NIHRrdn shows how to encourage more of these trials: choice, trust & clearer guidance.

The panel discussed how co-creation between industry, academia, government and the NHS is essential to remove barriers and expand access to research. #ABPIconf26

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Next up is our clinical trials panel!

Improvements in regulatory performance, alongside the UK’s unique health data assets, are strengthening the environment for commercial and non commercial clinical trials.

For industry, the priorities are clear: predictability, accuracy and speed.

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

The ABPI Exam offers qualifications to help make sure all industry personnel have the understanding they need to promote medicines ethically. Each year, the ABPI recognises the outstanding exam candidate who has achieved the highest grade.

This year's winner is Pedro Figueiredo Aparicio from Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine UK

Many congratulations to Pedro! 🎉👏🏆

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Panellists pointed to the value of bringing together industry, government, academia and the health system to unlock the UK’s full potential.

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

A strong start to today’s growth panel on where the UK can win globally.

The discussion pointed to a clear opportunity for the UK at the intersection of life sciences and AI, with healthcare seen as one of the most promising settings for innovation to flourish.

How do we turn the 10 Year Plan into reality? #ABPIConf26

Prevention, earlier intervention, equity in access to treatments, focussing on the patient, 3-year NHS budgets, embracing innovation, empowering clinicians and health and care leaders, better data, partnerships with industry, all these will help, say @swoolnough of @TheKingsFund, Fiona Bride, @NHSEngland, Helen Knight of @NICEComms & @jacoblant of @NVTweeting.

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

.@swoolnough of @TheKingsFund highlights the green shoots of recovery for the NHS - we’ve seen an increase in satisfaction, but from a low base.

Access to treatment matters, and sometimes simple improvements in admin can help. #ABPIConf26

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Our President Russell Abberley has highlighted how much life sciences matters to people - to patients, jobs, and the next generation.

We look forward to delivering for them. #ABPIConf26

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Great to hear from @zubirahmed at #ABPIConf26

Changes government has made have meant new cancer medicines for patients, and investment in the UK by companies.

Happy to work in partnership to transform patient care and make the UK a leading life sciences economy. @DHSCgovuk

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Through the UK-US trade arrangement, the government has chosen to address this, and invest more in medicines.

[ABPI @ABPI_UK]

Opening, @TorbettR said the UK is starting to choose growth, innovation
and faster patient access to medicines. We've long known of problems in the UK - 102 medicines launched in the US have not launched in European markets, vs 15 the other way round.
