The brief

On 20 November 2014, the Minister for Life Sciences announced the Accelerated Access Review (AAR).

The Review will help to ensure that NHS patients benefit from earlier access to innovative medicines, diagnostics and devices, and help Government lead the global race for life sciences investment by making the UK the best place for 21st century medical innovation and product development.

There are direct links to the DH Departmental priority to raise standards in health and care through the use of technology and the Review will support NHS England’s Five Year Forward View commitment to accelerating the quicker adoption of cost-effective medicines, diagnostics and devices.

The AAR team are looking for organisations that will work closely with the team to help rapidly identify and co-design possible solutions to the challenges of workstream 2, in particular building a new accelerated pathway.

This work will be delivered in parallel with a review of the Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) – (for which see ITT ref number 59959).
