In February 2007, the Ministerial Industry Strategy Group published its Long-Term Leadership Strategy for medicines. To encourage joint working between the NHS and pharmaceutical industry it recommended that the Department would develop an interactive toolkit to support this.

The purpose of this toolkit is to:

  • encourage NHS organisations and staff to consider joint working as a realistic option for the delivery of high-quality healthcare
  • provide the necessary information and have easy access to the tools which will help to enter into joint working.

Downloadable templates referred to in the toolkit
