WINNER: Working in partnership to bring CAR T innovation to UK patients: Kite, a Gilead Company, NHS England and NHS Partners 

The UK is one of the first countries in the world to have CAR-T (an individualised therapy involving reprogramming the patient’s immune system to target and destroy cancer) available on the healthcare system. NHS England, Kite/Gilead, Industry and NHS providers partnered in a unique way to ensure the infrastructure was in place, new patient pathways developed and HCPs trained, ready and confident to deliver this potentially life-changing therapy in an expedited timeframe. This partnership approach is just the beginning. The ability to deliver CAR-T is an exciting milestone, opening up a new chapter for the industry, HCPs, patients and the future of cell therapies.
