Drug delivery | PA Consulting

Patients are demanding more from their medicines than just convenience and ease of use. With everyday consumer products setting new standards, patients want products to be engaging, environmentally sustainable, and to reduce the burden of their disease.

For pharmaceutical companies to meet this demand and to benefit from the shift to value based care, you need to develop patient-centric drug delivery devices, that create better healthcare outcomes for patients and healthcare.

Working together

To help you seize the opportunity of patient-centric drug delivery devices, we’ve built on more than 40 years’ experience designing, developing, manufacturing and commercialising drug delivery systems, from auto-injectors to inhalers to connected systems. We combine this experience with our world-class digital and data development and implementation capabilities, providing you with practical, realistic and achievable recommendations, to help you unlock the full potential of drug delivery systems in the new era of connected health.
