Expertise:
Market Access, HEOR & RWE
Within the healthcare sector, Market Access is the complex and protracted process that Pharma and Biotech companies have to go through in order to ensure that their medicines are made available in as many countries as possible while ensuring these medicines are reimbursed and made available to the patients who need them.
You’ll also hear phrases such as ‘Pricing and Reimbursement’ (P&R), ‘Health Economics and Outcomes Research’ (HEOR) and ‘Payer (or Payor) Research’, and ‘Cost Effectiveness’. Market Access is the broad term that encompasses all of these things.
Market Access has become increasingly important over the last 5 to 10 years as more high-tech and expensive drugs have come to market, while at the same time there have been enormous pressures on governments and/or healthcare systems to cover the costs of their drug bills. A good example is the UK market, where the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) plays a pivotal role in deciding whether or not new treatments are cost-effective.
We recruit for the following roles within Market Access, HEOR & RWE:
- HEOR Manager / HEOR Senior Manager / HEOR Director / HEOR Associate Director

- Health Economist / Senior Health Economist
- Market Access Medical Writer
- HTA Manager / Senior HTA Manager
