The latest edition of Pharmafocus is available to read now! In this issue we delve into pharma’s reaction to the newly-announced general election, the latest efforts in battling antimalarial resistance, and the shifting climate of mental health treatment – including the rise of ketamine as an alternative therapy.

Almost out of nowhere, the UK is facing a new general election, and two core issues that could shape the future of the life sciences industry in the country are high on the agenda: Brexit and the NHS. Pharma industry voices are already making themselves heard over the debate, and you can read all about it in our cover story.

As scientific best practice moves closer to more patient-centric approaches, clinicians need a treatment assessment method which puts the patient first. In our first feature, Matt Fellows explores the strengths and weaknesses of patient reported outcomes, and the potential they present for the future.

Regulation and approval of drugs is set to change in the UK following Brexit, but in what way? Ben Hargreaves attempts to cut through the uncertainty and crack the issue in our medical communications feature.

7 April this year marked World Health Day, and its focus this year was depression. According to the WHO, mental health is one of the biggest contributors to the worldwide disease burden, and is often severely underestimated. This month, we explore why mental health investment has waned in recent years, and the digital treatment solutions which have risen to fill this gap.

Elsewhere in the issue, John Wise of The Pistoia Alliance discusses the necessity of real-world data for a prosperous future for the life sciences industry, while we speak to Novartis’ Dr Harald Nusser and Dr David Reddy, CEO of Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), to discuss their efforts to fight antimalarial drug resistance across the world.
