• Deliver and support scientific education, congress activity, advisory boards, expert consultations and other Medical Affairs initiatives.
• Support the localisation and delivery of global scientific narratives and approved materials, ensuring they remain accurate, balanced and relevant to UK clinical practice.
• Work closely with Market Access/HEOR, Commercial, Marketing, Clinical Development, Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, and other functions to ensure that medical insights inform integrated business plans while maintaining Medical Affairs’ independence.
• Provide appropriate medical input into UK access activities, including NICE, SMC, AWMSG and relevant NHS discussions.
