Keynote Presentations (1 April)

From content to care –the future of pharma's value propositions

The pharma business model has traditionally focused on content e.g. producing and selling products. Generic competition, lack of NMEs, patent expiries and strong focus on value based pricing is forcing pharma to focus on new business models. One obvious solution is to produce evidence based product packets rather than sole products. This will turn the focus from product to service or from content to care. In essence this will contribute to a sustainable, responsible and rational pharma marketing approach for the future.

In this exclusive presentation you will:

• Hear unique research on how you can deliver a more customer, servicerelated product to your customers

• Find out how this approach to your products will increase access and health outcomes and drive market share
