Ambition and objectives Sample Clauses

Ambition and objectives. The NHS needs to be able to deal with challenges ahead, such as an ageing population, a rise in the number of people with long-term conditions, and greater public expectations. Combined with rising costs and constrained financial resources, these trends threaten the long-term sustainability of the health service. NHS England and the pharmaceutical industry share mutual ambitions in improving health outcomes and quality of care. The transformational change needed across the health system will be delivered more effectively through effective cooperation and collaboration where we all stand to gain. NHS England and the pharmaceutical industry share objectives to: • Work together with integrity and probity for the benefit of patients and the public. • Improve health outcomes through early collaboration and understanding of the future advances in medicines for example, evaluating the potential impact of research pipelines on healthcare system design to maximise the benefits for patients and realise system efficiencies where appropriate. • To deliver high-quality standards of patient care and improved outcomes, consistently and equitably across the NHS, through optimising and accelerating the pace and scale of access, adoption and diffusion, and safe and effective use of proven established medicines and cost-effective innovative medicines. • Lead the way in support of clinical research so NHS patients are amongst the first to benefit from medical advances. • Identify and share opportunities for good practice in transparent and value-for-money partnership arrangements across the NHS. • Support the development of a safe and sustainable NHS. • Support the development of economic growth in the UK.
