October newsletter
In this newsletter:
- What needs to be done to facilitate the adoption of ATMPs into the NHS?
- How can the industry drive the uptake of automation in manufacturing and development?
- What is the cost of implementing an outcomes-based managed entry agreement for an advanced therapy?

This month we have seen tangible evidence of the industry working together to support the development and adoption of advanced therapies, making practical steps forward in a number of areas. 

We bought together expert stakeholders to address how we can facilitate the adoption of ATMPs into the NHS and discuss the role of the Advanced Therapy Treatment Centre network in driving adoption of ATMPs. A summary of outcomes from the workshop is now available.

Phacilitate have also published the conclusions reached at the Automation Special Interest Group on how to drive automation in cell and gene therapy processing and manufacturing. We were pleased to be one of the expert stakeholders that took part.

We have also looked at how patient access can be enabled by implementing outcomes-based managed entry agreements when there is uncertainty in the clinical data. The case study can be viewed on our website.

Finally we would like to welcome Sir Bruce Keogh, Professor Uta Griesenbach and Hilary Newiss to the CGT Catapult Board.
