2. Role of the ABPI
• The ABPI represents innovative research-based biopharmaceutical companies, large ,
medium and small, leading an exciting new era of biosciences in the UK.
• Our industry, a major contributor to the economy of the UK, brings life-saving and life -
enhancing medicines to patients
• ABPI members supply 90 % of all medicines used by the NHS, and are researching and
developing over two-thirds of the current medicines pipeline
• ABPI is recognised by government as the industry body negotiating on behalf of the
branded pharmaceutical industry, for statutory consultation requirements including the
pricing scheme for medicines in the UK
• We have full, research affiliate and general affiliate membership
• The arms length body of the PMCPA upholds the ABPI Code of Conduct
3. The Nicholson Challenge..
• The NHS needs to make savings of £20 billion by 2015 – this means year-on-year
efficiency gains of 4% for the next four years - the Nicholson Challenge.
• “success in delivering the government’s aspirations for healthcare and growth will depend
on a fundamental cultural change within the NHS, supporting innovation in ways that
increase health benefits while driving out costs across the system” Committee for Science
and Technology (CST) Sept 2011
• “It is an immensely difficult task which requires those responsible to rethink fundamentally
the way that services are provided”. Health Select committee Jan 2012
• “to deliver a change its not just about a change in the management structure, but a change
in the way care is delivered”. Stephen Dorrell Jan 2012
4. “Innovation must become core business
for the NHS”
• ““we need to think about whether we are willing to spend more on a new drug which will
provide better outcomes or keep on going with the cheaper options” Jonathan Mason,
National Clinical Director for Primary Care and Community Pharmacy at the Department of
Health Nov 2012
• Innovation has a vital role to play if we are to continue to improve outcomes for patients and
deliver value for money….. All parts of the NHS will need to take bold, long term measures
in 2012/13 to secure sustainable change”
• “Simply doing more of what we have always done is no longer an option. We need to do
things differently. We need to radically transform the way we deliver services. Innovation is
the way – the only way – we can meet these challenges. Innovation must become core
business for the NHS” Sir David Nicholson, Innovation Health and Wealth Report Dec
2011
5. And the industry has a challenge too….
• Coupled with rising costs of research and development we work within the terms of the
2009 PPRS agreement which has 4 main objectives:
1. Deliver value for money securing the provision of safe and effective medicines at
reasonable prices and efficient development and competitive supply of medicines.
3. Encourage innovation to promote a strong and profitable pharmaceutical industry to
invest in sustained R&D to encourage the future availability of new and improved
medicines
5. Promote access and uptake for new medicines. The Department and the industry are
committed to increasing uptake and patient access to cost effective medicines
7. Provide stability, sustainability and predictability to help the NHS and the industry
develop sustainable financial and investment strategies
6. Medicines life cycle in UK... delivering

7. Appropriate use of Innovative medicines is part of the
solution for improved patient outcomes
Vaccines HIV
In 1992, routine vaccination of babies The development and adoption of
against Haemophilus influenzae type b combination treatment for HIV infection
(Hib) commenced. transformed HIV treatment
Within 3 years, the number of children who The treatment success was clinically driven
contracted Hib before their first birthday owing to a large unmet need
had fallen by 96%.1
Life expectancy for an HIV +ve 20 year old
increased from 36.1 to 49.4 years 2
Between 1996-1999 mortality among
people with HIV was 16.3 deaths per 1000
person years
This declined to 10 deaths per 1000
person years over 2003- 2005
Over the same period potential years of life
lost decreased from 366 to 189 per 1000
person years

8. Significant improvements have been
made in reducing mortality in CHD
Cardiology Statins
• The death rate from heart disease • The estimated number of lives
and related diseases among the saved through the use of statins has
under-75s has fallen by 47% tripled & rates of premature death
since 19961 from CHD are now lower than ever
• Medical and surgical treatments before 2
for CHD can together be directly • Around 4 million people are now
credited with saving 28,520 lives receiving statins, saving an
in the year 2000 – roughly estimated 10,000 lives every year 3
equivalent to one life saved every
20 minutes4

9. Improvements to reduce mortality in Colorectal
Cancer and reduced rate of childhood disease
Colorectal Cancer
• The increased use of chemotherapy with bowel cancer
patients could, alone, be responsible for saving over
1,600 lives a year by 20201
• The five-year relative survival rates for both male and
female colon and rectal cancer have doubled between
the early 1970s and mid 2000s1-5.

10. Appropriate use of medicines can deliver patient
benefits and cost savings to the NHS
• NICE estimates that £446,627 can be saved for every 100,000
patients that are treated in line with the hypertension guidance,
resulting in an overall saving of over £200 million/year.1
• It is estimated that, following the NICE recommendation, for the
prevention of venous thromboembolism, the savings to the NHS
would reach £8,904 per 100,000 of the population - equivalent to
£26.3 million nationally. 2

Joint working - What is it?
•Joint working describes situations where, for the benefit of patients, NHS and industry
organisations pool skills, experience and/or resources for the joint development and
implementation of patient centred projects and share a commitment to successful delivery.
Joint working:The Benefits
•"Joint working provides the foundation, for which innovative healthcare solutions can be
born, and grow, to deliver better health outcomes for the patient, the NHS and the industry
alike.”
Deepak Khanna, President of the ABPI and Managing Director of MSD UK, 2012
•Local examples of joint working between the NHS and industry can demonstrate multiple
benefits to patients and the NHS
•There are over 30 Joint Working partnerships with the NHS delivering tangible patient
benefits
