Currently, we invest around £1bn in research and development (R&D) in the UK annually with our global R&D hub at Stevenage continuing to be at the heart of the development of our pipeline of vital medicines, with a focus on the immune system, genetics, and advanced technologies.
Our culture powers our purpose, drives delivery of our strategy and helps make GSK a place where people can thrive. We are recognised in the Stonewall LGBT+ rights group as a top global employer and ranked in the Times Top 50 employers for women in the UK.
We also support our global and local communities. £1.7m has been raised by UK employees for Save the Children so far, with 100% of these funds being used to help provide UK families living on low incomes with essential household items, learning resources, and support that gives parents the skills, confidence and tools to help their children thrive.

Careers
Healthcare professionals
Healthcare professionals (HCPs) in the UK can get information about our products and therapy areas by visiting GSKPro
As a healthcare company we regularly work with HCPs. From collaborating on clinical trials to providing high quality, balanced information about our medicines and vaccines, in all of our interactions we aim to be transparent about our work, operate with integrity, and always put the interests of patients first.
Disclosure of payments made to HCPs in the UK
In line with EFPIA Disclosure Code, disclosure information in the UK is published annually (covering the previous year) through the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) Disclosure UK website. You can find more information on our disclosure of payments here.
UK patients, journalists and members of public
In line with ABPI Code, we disclose payments for certain contracted services made to UK patients, journalists and members of the public, on an aggregate basis.
Partnerships
Despite having some of the best people and research facilities, experience has shown us that we can achieve even more through strong partnerships.
These can be with the NHS, other companies, non-profit organisations and the academic world. In fact, it’s a key element in our business strategy, which helps us develop innovative new medicines and vaccines but also helps improve access to treatments and patient care
Donation of goods and services
