The UK is becoming a faster, more predictable, and higher-performing environment for global, commercial research investment. A year on from the launch of the government’s landmark Life Sciences Sector Plan, we have transformed the research landscape.

📅 The average time to set up a commercial interventional clinical trial has fallen from 169 days to 122 days - with further reductions still being made.

⏩ Major progress towards getting UK clinical trials up and running within 150 days, dismantling bureaucracy to bring treatments to patients faster.

🌍 31 global firsts and 69 European firsts in England in the last year - a key indicator of our ability to deliver at pace and scale.
