At the centre of what we do

Our purpose is to push the boundaries of science to deliver lifechanging medicines for patients. We partner with the scientific community to discover and develop these innovative treatments. We work with the NHS in areas such as patient pathway re-design, data, precision medicine and genomics. We are dedicated to collaborating with the NHS to make sure patients have access to the cutting-edge treatments they need. By using precision medicine in ~90% of our clinical pipeline, we aim to tailor new and existing treatments to the needs of individual patients through diagnostic tests.

We have also invested £220m in new manufacturing, warehousing and infrastructure improvements at our Macclesfield campus between 2015-18, representing a spend of over £1m per week. This is the largest medicines manufacturing site in the UK.
