COVID-19: UK industry focus - Where next for pharma and life sciences?

Though pharma and life sciences companies are more resilient to this crisis than many, they’re not immune to the economic challenges and events arising from COVID-19. 

Like other businesses within the broader healthcare ecosystem, they face the unique challenge of ensuring their own operational health, while coping with soaring demand for treatments and therapies.

Many are being forced to stray from tried-and-tested operating models, but the challenges today may well help to create strong structures for the future. 

Our experts discuss how this period will be transformative for the pharma and broader life sciences sector and why agility, innovation and collaboration will be absolutely critical to success.

 

 

“For pharma companies that have had to contest with a mixed public reputation in recent years, this is an opportunity to prove how instrumental they can be in creating a stronger and fairer health system.”
