Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

Dr Peter Brambleby (Independent Public Health Consultant) joins Tom Clarke (Director, Mtech Access) to discuss the role public health has played through the COVID pandemic and its importance to the population going forward.
This webinar forms part of our monthly Whispers’ Words of Wisdom series, in which we have in‑depth, comprehensive conversations with senior colleagues from the NHS. We explore what their immediate priorities are, what they see as the greatest challenges faced by the NHS, and how the NHS might respond to these challenges.
We were delighted to welcome Peter to the #WhispersWordsofWisdom series.
