About us

The ABPI exists to make the UK the best place in the world to research, develop and access medicines and vaccines to improve patient care.

We represent companies of all sizes which invest in making and discovering medicines and vaccines to enhance and save the lives of millions of people around the world.

In England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, we work in partnership with governments and the NHS so that patients can get new treatments faster and the NHS can plan how much it spends on medicines. Every day, our members partner with healthcare professionals, academics and patient organisations to find new solutions to unmet health needs.

The pharmaceutical industry, researchers and healthcare professionals share a common goal: to develop and make best use of treatments that improve people’s lives by preventing and curing disease.
 
We want to raise awareness of what more needs to be done to tackle poor health outcomes and unmet health needs.
 
Our industry is a core part of the health and research ecosystem in every country in the world.

Here in the UK, pharmaceutical companies partner with universities and the NHS on clinical trials and research projects to accelerate the development of new treatments and ensure they meet the needs of patients.
