Within this, we have four focus areas that are core to our strategy and continued growth: Commercial, Medical Affairs, R&D Development and Global Health, Access & Sustainability. As a sector, we have long-standing partnerships with a range of global pharmaceutical companies (e.g. GSK, AstraZeneca, ViiV, Bayer, Otsuka) and work on projects big and small – from multi-million pound large-scale transformations to targeted change support within specific teams.
