“AXIS has been an excellent market access partner that guided the Teva team to navigate the complex pathway to reimbursement of their new medicine for migraines. From the development of a robust Rapid Review to the preparation of a full HTA, through strategic pricing discussions with the HSE and the follow-up interactions with the MMP, AXIS were always highly responsive, dependable, detail orientated and dedicated to our success. Their exceptional project management ensured that commitments made were
always delivered on time and to the highest quality”.

“AXIS has been a superb partner to us on our journey to successful reimbursement of our new
Oncology medicine in Ireland. The team have an expert knowledge of the Irish pathway that’s drawn from their many years of working in the area. The strategic support provided to us throughout the pricing discussions with the HSE was instrumental in securing reimbursement”.

General Manager -UK & Ireland – Beigene – May 2022

“Almirall have engaged AXIS Consulting on a number of occasions in recent years. They have considerable expertise in market access strategy, navigating the pricing and reimbursement landscape and we have found AXIS to be totally reliable, responsive to all project requirements and highly organised. Most importantly AXIS have been able to advise us on important next steps within often complex processes and work with us to shape the information we want to present so it better meets the needs and expectations of intended recipients. I would very happily recommend AXIS to anyone needing expert advice and support with Market Access for Ireland”.

Richard Stork
Head of Market Access – Almirall UK & Ireland – May 2020

“I cannot recommend AXIS highly enough. We faced a very challenging reimbursement application process in Ireland, which is a market where the organisation had no prior experience or expertise. AXIS expertly navigated us through a complex procedure with the NCPE and HSE, providing both content and contextual expertise. They ensured that both our clinical and health economic cases were optimised to the local market environment, represented us with local stakeholders, and helped us navigate a difficult price negotiation. The experience was highly collaborative, working with us as part of a cross functional team and not in a client-vendor relationship. The final result was a highly successful reimbursement outcome for an orphan medication that exceeded objectives both in terms of scope and commercial conditions. If you need a local partner in Ireland look no further”.

Geoff Wyatt
Head of Market Access Neuroscience – Jazz Pharmaceuticals- May 2022

“ALK-Abello engaged AXIS to develop a Rapid Review dossier in order to ensure a highly compelling Irish reimbursement submission. AXIS’s expertise, knowledge and insights in terms of addressing the specific requirements of the NCPE proved invaluable, with the subsequent submission resulting in the rare NCPE recommendation for the HSE to reimburse our medicine immediately following the Rapid Review stage”.

Paul Radford
National Projects Manager – ALK-Abello – March 2020

“The AXIS team supported us throughout the entire submission process including development of our Rapid Review dossier, full HTA & Pricing Negotiations which all led to a successful reimbursement outcome in Ireland. The team’s expertise and experience of NCPE submissions ensured that our HTA was of an exceptionally high standard and importantly, was delivered on time”.

“Brenda has been a superb partner in helping Consilient Health navigate an ever changing and complex market access environment. Brenda and her team have a deep understanding of the Irish health care environment and this is reflected in all the projects that we have completed with AXIS Consulting, from the development and submission of the more traditional pharmacy-economic assessment to the generation of customer insights through the design and delivery of meaningful market research. Brenda is a pleasure to work with and is always willing to help and advise”.

Deirdre Kelly
County Manager – Consilient Health

“Astellas Ireland engaged AXIS Consulting to help us develop a strategic market access plan. Integral to this process were a number of stakeholders mapping workshops proposed and facilitated by Brenda. We found these workshops an invaluable tool in building our understanding of the new non-traditional stakeholders for our business. Our European colleagues were particularly impressed with the comprehensive approach adopted in the workshops and the quality of the final stakeholder engagement plan subsequently developed for Ireland”.

Today’s Masterclass was an excellent insight into the complexities of the Irish PRMA. Professionally delivered, completely engaging. A programme that I believe should be mandatory for any pharma company launching new medicines in Ireland. Thank you to Brenda and all your amazing Team!
