NAVIGATEAuthor: Merck UK & Ireland
Wondering what the changing NHS landscape could mean for patients, services, and clinical pathways? Merck UK & Ireland are excited to announce their new podcast series, NAVIGATE! NAVIGATE aims to educate listeners on the changing UK healthcare landscape and provide NHS stakeholders with recommendations on how they can support the optimal delivery of care in the fast-emerging integrated care landscape. Throughout this series, our Director of Market Access, Amerah Amin, will be joined by several leading experts from across the NHS, to explore different views on how service delivery is evolving in the NHS across a number of conditions, ranging from cancer to neurology care. In doing so, we will consider what exactly emerging Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) could mean for the NHS and the communities and individuals they serve.

Patient Access to Clinical Trials in the UK
Episode 6
Tuesday, 28 January, 2025
This podcast is initiated, organised and funded by Merck Serono Ltd. Merck Serono Ltd is a pharmaceutical company. Nearly 80% of clinical trials fail to adequately recruit participants on proposed timelines negatively impacting patient access to new treatments[i]. Patient recruitment in clinical trials is imperative for a successful study and delays, or low participant numbers, can prevent patients accessing the newest and most innovative treatments. In this episode our UK & ROI Director of Market Access, Pricing and Government & Public Affairs, Tina Alexopoulos, sat down with Lesley Caldow, Head of In-Country Study Operations at Merck UK & ROI, Sharon Brenan, Director of Policy and External Affairs at National Voices, and Dr Mohini Varughese, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at Royal Devon University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Clinical Associate Professor for the University of Exeter, to discuss the barriers patients face in accessing clinical trials, whether these are practical, attitudinal, or communicable, and how these can be overcome.
