From the editor

As part of our theme of celebrating positives in pharma and health during this difficult and turbulent time, while ensuring that we keep readers abreast of all the key developments amid the pandemic, PharmaTimes has ‘met’ with some of the next generation of leaders who are helping to secure a bright future for their companies and sectors. More on this on page 24.

Elsewhere, our cover feature (p15) looks at how pharma is rising to the challenge of ensuring a continuous supply of medicines in the wake of Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic, while Sebastian Johnson details how researchers at Oxfordshire’s unique life sciences ecosystem are leading the response to COVID-19 (p36).

Also on coronavirus, the team at Wilmington consider how it is shifting elements of the NHS Long Term Plan, outlining both the positives and negatives (p18), and we look at how the virus has hit the care of non-COVID-19 patients and the potential impact of this on death rates and economies (p7 and p42).

Finally, a reminder that the PharmaTimes Marketer of the Year, Communications Awards and Sales Awards are open for entry (visit www.pharmatimes.com/competitions for more information), while there’s also still time to enter the inaugural Patient Partnership Index (www.patientpartnershipindex.com), which closes for entry on June 23.

I hope you enjoy the issue!
