In 1999 The Pharmaceutical Industry Competitiveness Task Force
(PICTF) was established to maintain the competitiveness of the industry and sustain R&D investment in UK. The Ministerial Industry Strategy Group (MISG) was established to oversee implementation of PICTF recommendations. In 2004, further reviews lead to the development of a Long-Term Leadership Strategy which included three elements:
-
NHS/Industry Joint Working to deliver improved health care to patients
- UK PLC working with Europe to create better pharma environment
- Improving regulatory environment for medicines
The DOH along with NHS and ABPI has issued guidance on Joint Working and why these projects should take place. The overriding aim is to improve the delivery of health care to patients.
The PharmaTimes Joint Working projects of the Year steering group is populated by senior stakeholders from NHS, DOH and the pharmaceutical industry and their aim is to help us to truly reflect what is best for the Local Health Ecconomy, for industry and most importantly for patients.
