(1888PressRelease) August 26, 2016 - SMi Group caught up with the conference speaker Smita Sealey UK Engagement Manager, Market Access, IMS Health to find out her thoughts about new cancer drug fund impact on market access and more.

In the interview Smita Sealey said: "…The new CDF is a very different beast from the one it replaces. The old scheme was £126 million overspent, despite several attempts by NHS England to de-list drugs not perceived as delivering value. Something clearly had to give, but whether the new arrangements succeed in bringing expensive cancer drugs to patients, while still balancing the books, remains to be seen…. At the event this October I will discuss is the new process working as well as expected. How has this new process increased market access? And what to expect next?..."

Smita Sealy will be presenting on: The Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) UK 2016: What have we learned from the translation period? at day 1 of the event.
