UK Pharmaceuticals



Providing beneficial medicines and vaccines to the National Health Service, our UK Pharma business makes a major contribution to life in the UK. In partnership with the NHS, we are helping to provide better healthcare and more choice to millions of patients.

We specialise in a number of therapeutic areas including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, diabetes, anti-viral, the central nervous system, and vaccines. And we continue to work towards bringing innovative new medicines to patients including those to treat diseases such as cancer and HIV/AIDS.

Our medicines contribute to saving lives and improving quality of life for millions of people. They allow major diseases to be treated without the need for in-patient hospital care, reduce dependency on carers or social services, and allow patients to remain economically active. We also make a massive contribution to the UK economy through employment, research and manufacturing.

Currently, we have 1,500 field and office-based staff working in sales and marketing, medical and regulatory affairs, finance, HR, corporate affairs, integrated healthcare and IT.

One thing that we all enjoy is the opportunity to play a part in getting innovative medicines to patients who will benefit.
