In this panel discussion, Padraic O’Brien addressed the area of medicine shortages and the Irish Reimbursement process. Meanwhile, Michael O’Connell spoke on the key work undertaken by IPHA in the Irish Pharmaceutical Marketspace and highlighted that active partnerships and collaborations are key to enhancing access to medicines in Ireland. Furthermore, Alison Muir provided insight into Roche and its transformation journey and its tailored approach to ensure access and delivery of medicines to patients in Ireland. This session proved to be quite interesting to the PMI delegates.
Team AXIS thoroughly enjoyed contributing to the key talks on the day as well as exhibiting and attending the PMI Summit.
At our stand, Team AXIS was met with a lot of interest in our services for the Irish and the UK markets, where we provide differentiated and high-quality submissions to the NCPE, SMC, NICE and AWMSG. Additionally, it was great to see so many delegates engaged with our fun and competitive game on the AXIS Irish Reimbursement Road Map Game. The game challenged PMI delegates to test their knowledge of the Irish Reimbursement Landscape and secure funding for a medicine in the fastest time. Our winner on the day was Naomi Crowley, Customer Engagement Lead at GSK.
