NHS engagement
Joint Working - a toolkit for industry and the NHS
New guidance to help the NHS and the pharmaceutical industry work successfully together.
A new ambition for cross-sector collaboration
The UK Life Sciences Industrial Strategy should be required reading for every healthcare leader in the UK. It makes clear that the NHS must be an active participant with industry in delivering the shared objective of outstanding patient outcomes.
Simplifying cross-sector working between NHS Integrated Care Systems
This guidance has been developed by the AHSN Network and the ABPI.

Working with patient organisations
Our ambition is to put patients at the heart of what we do, developing and delivering medicines which can have the most impact on people’s health and wellbeing. ABPI is committed to embedding system-wide patient and public involvement across the life sciences research sector.

Our Patient Engagement Strategy
Our strategy sets out how the ABPI will deliver our commitments and make sure that patient engagement is consistently at the heart of our work.
Working with patients and patient organisations - a summary
In response to COVID-19, we thought it would be helpful to summarise some practical guidance from the Sourcebook, with the aim of supporting companies to work compliantly with patients and patient organisations.
Working with patients and patient organisations - a sourcebook for industry
The ABPI has produced this sourcebook to support pharmaceutical companies in working successfully and collaboratively with patients and patient organisations. We want to support relationships that are in the interests of patients and within the law and the ABPI Code. We also hope that the sourcebook will be helpful to patient organisations as they build partnerships with industry.
Patient and public involvement in research
Involving the public and patients as equal partners in the discovery and development of medicines is vital. The ABPI works with patient organisations and our members to improve how this is done.
Academic collaboration
Academic collaboration
A quarter of a million people are employed in the UK’s life science sector today. We need a continuous supply of specialists to stay competitive, meet the demands of an evolving, technology-based world and pioneer the next wave of medicines and vaccines.
Links between industry & academia
The UK is recognised worldwide as a leader in medical research and innovation, and the foundations for collaborations between industry and academia in the UK are exceptionally strong.
Examples of industry-academic interactions
These examples showcase the variety of projects that have arisen over the last two years, from more traditional partnerships between one company and one institution, to pioneering consortia and novel patient biobanks.
