What's happening with specialised commissioning in the NHS?

Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

What’s happening with specialised commissioning in the NHS? How likely is a delay in delegation to integrated care boards (ICBs)? How and what should Pharma and Medtech plan for amidst all this uncertainty?
Malcolm Qualie (former Medicines Lead for Specialised Services, NHS England) speaks to David Thorne (Principal Associate, Mtech Access) to explore specialised commissioning in the NHS and what to expect as we head into 2024.
Malcolm Qualie and David Thorne explored:

• Specialised commissioning in the NHS
• The risks and opportunities that devolution to ICBs will bring
• What we can expect to see in the short and longer term
• How industry can support ICB leaders through this transition
• How Pharma, Medtech, and Diagnostics companies, whose products come under specialised commissioning, can manage these risks and uncertainties
