Current Industry Environment Still a world leader but many challenging forces are reshaping the environment in which the sector is operating – need a different sort of supply chain • Shorter product lifecycles – end of blockbuster • New ways for assessing and approving medicines – many changes • Increasing emphasis on personalised outcomes • New models of delivering healthcare – e.g. healthcare into the community • Importance of emerging markets - potential • Public scrutiny increasing – need to manage risk and compliance/competence • Tougher environmental controls and regulations
Looking ahead… We need to: • Think creatively on products • Innovate to survive globally • Open up the NHS to industry – partnership on skills • Collaborate on research -attractive to private investment • Develop an industry that is fit for the future • Skills and competence are part of the solution – to innovate, support compliance and to form bridge with NHS
Our progress Four working groups drive our plan: apprentices, SMEs, career pathways and placements – employer-led Great progress via the groups • HAs taking off – exciting new route • New Skills Gateway tool – consultation underway • Clusters are supporting our work as conduits to SMEs • Bid shaping up for placements and mentoring • New publications in research, Helix magazine • Suite of new video films – including HA case study (Takeda) • Life Sciences Skills Awards – HoC launch • Taking the message out to events – our own Breakfast Briefings • Partnerships – with societies and professional bodies
