Membership
We represent our members, using their insight and experience to tell the story of how they change the lives of millions of people every day.
The 麻豆社exists to make the UK the best place in the world to research, develop and use new medicines. We represent companies of all sizes who invest in discovering the medicines of the future.
Our members supply cutting edge treatments that improve and save the lives of millions of people. We work in partnership with Government and the NHS so patients can get new treatments faster and the NHS can plan how much it spends on medicines.
We work with members in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
