Catalysts for Change

THE FOLLOWING CONTENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE UK.

At Biogen, we strive to be Catalysts for Change for those in areas of high unmet need throughout the healthcare ecosystem. The NHS faces many pressures and challenges such as infrastructure issues, staffing and entrenched unmet health needs, especially among deprived and socially excluded groups.1

We are committed to driving meaningful change through collaboration with the NHS, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and patient advocacy groups. Our policy reports examine some of the most pressing issues facing the NHS and patient communities, offering strategic insights to support informed decision making across the healthcare system. They are the blueprint for the real change needed in our systems.

These reports were commissioned and funded by Biogen.
