Market Access and the Celtic Nations - Life Science Access Academy

Stay ahead with essential insight on access dynamics across the Celtic Nations

Masterclass Details:

As we move into 2026, market access strategies must reflect the unique and evolving healthcare systems across the Celtic Nations. With Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland each operating distinct health structures, policies and funding priorities, a one-size-fits-all approach will not deliver results.

In this 60-minute masterclass, market access experts Andrew Mumford and Allister Upton share up-to-date insights on what’s shaping access across the Celtic Nations. From reimbursement processes to policy change and stakeholder dynamics, Andrew and Allister will highlight the specific access levers Life Sciences professionals need to understand and apply.

Join live to ask your questions and sharpen your strategy with practical, country-specific insights from the UK and Ireland’s leading experts in market access.

Key Learning Objectives:

Understand the structural, policy and reimbursement differences across Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland

Gain insight into how decisions are made, who the key influencers are and where to focus your engagement
