Our Mission

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.

Our strategy

Medicines and vaccines are transforming our lives like never before. We want the UK to be the best place in the world to research, develop and use the medicines and vaccines of the future. 

Our strategy

To do this, we focus on:

  • Improving access to new medicines and vaccines so everyone in the UK can get the latest treatments.

  • Building a thriving environment for medicine discovery so the UK can be the best place in the world to research and develop new medicines and vaccines.

  • Enhancing reputation by demonstrating the high ethical standards we set ourselves and that society expects from us.

  • Working in partnership with Government, the NHS and the life science community
