Oldfield says: “Our members represent a significant proportion of the research-based industry operating in the UK. For all, regardless of our size or the areas in which we specialise, either trying to ensure or improving patient access to, or uptake of new medicines is the number one priority. Low and slow uptake of new medicines is systemic in the UK.
