Partnering with purpose

The opportunity now exists to better embed strategic partnerships across industry, patient organisations and the NHS, creating a thriving health ecosystem that works for patients, society and the economy.

To understand how ICSs can play a role in confronting the challenges of improving the health of populations they serve through partnership working, the NHS Confederation and the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) jointly hosted a series of masterclasses for selected ICS and industry leaders between October 2022 and May 2023. These events explored how industry can support systems to develop innovation solutions and spread good practice.
