Our global vision for Patient Centricity is to support the development of innovative health solutions through a deep understanding of the patient experience.

We believe all staff have a role to play in creating a patient-centric culture and integrating an awareness of the patient into our everyday working practices, regardless of our role, team or division.
We work closely with regulatory authorities and payers to find new ways to ensure access to new therapies.
