Working with patient organisations
Our ambition is to put patients at the heart of what we do, developing and delivering medicines which can have the most impact on people’s health and wellbeing. ABPI is committed to embedding system-wide patient and public involvement across the life sciences research sector.

Our strategy sets out how the ABPI will deliver our commitments and make sure that patient engagement is consistently at the heart of our work.
Involving the public and patients as equal partners in the discovery and development of medicines is vital. The ABPI works with patient organisations and our members to improve how this is done.
The Maternal Health Project Group (MHPG) aims to help with national work to increase the opportunities for pregnant and breast-feeding women to access appropriate drug treatments.
The Multimorbidity Action Group (MAG), or ‘multiple long-term conditions’, refers to the diagnoses of two or more diseases, in the same person, at the same time.

Best practice guidance: Supporting patient organisations to report industry funding
The ABPI Code of Practice places requirements on industry to publish annual lists of payments to patient organisations, and we endorse this approach. Currently, there is no similar requirement for those patient organisations in receipt of grants or funds from industry. In response, the ABPI has put together some advice for local disclosure mechanisms, based on current practice among industry.
