  8. Learnings……… • All of the ‘difficult to access’ PCTs that have been visited (or spoken to) wish to work with pharma • They all struggle to communicate their strategic agenda / clinical ‘needs’ effectively to pharma • They do not have sufficient resource to establish effective relationships with the large number of companies that approach them on an ‘ad hoc’ basis

  9. Learnings………. • They do not want pharmaceutical sales representatives ‘detailing’ them (as they do GPs) • Many have ‘banned’ pharmaceutical sales representatives from the PCT as there is little / no value in seeing them • ‘Medicines Management’ teams, usually led by Pharmaceutical Advisors, are hostile to pharma as they “distort local decision making” processes
