Aurora is delighted to confirm our panel of experts and discussion topics for our inaugural Access All Areas event.
Despite positive health technology appraisals, too many patients are not getting access to the innovative medicines and technologies they need. Why does this challenge persist, and what meaningful steps can be taken to mitigate this?
Please join us on 12 May when we will be exploring this critical topic, and hearing the expert view on where the strongest opportunities exist to improve.
‘Patients as Partners’

‘Third Party Glue’
Speaker: Joanne Sopala is the Director of Fundraising and Marketing for The MS Trust – an organisation with a strong track record of effective collaboration with industry and the NHS for the benefit of patients.
‘Best Sharing Practice'
Speaker: Sheela Upadhyaya is an independent commissioning expert and a committee member with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Highly Specialised Technologies Programme).
