Medicines research is a long and expensive process. It takes years of careful evaluation and a lot of human and financial resources to bring new medicines to the point where they can be prescribed to the people who need them.
The UK has traditionally been at the forefront of international medicines research - the treatments discovered and developed in our laboratories and hospitals are helping to save lives, reduce suffering and improve the quality of life for millions of people all over the world.
The pharmaceutical industry has made a major contribution to this, but the battle is unfinished, requiring a vital partnership approach between the industry, the NHS and academic science to find the medicines of tomorrow, and to bring them swiftly to patients. Come and find out how you could contribute.
The evening will finish with an interactive exhibition and drinks reception to which all delegates are invited.
Why should you attend?
- To learn first hand from world leaders in medicines research
