Virtual event (Zoom)

The Nordic seminar on pricing, reimbursement and public procurement of pharmaceuticals will bring together practitioners and experts on 11.05.2021. The seminar is open to all, please find instructions for registering below.

SUDDEN research project studies the environmental effects and sustainability of pharmaceuticals throughout their entire life cycle. In this seminar, SUDDEN and a broad group of stakeholders will explore how the use and procurement of medicines can be steered towards environmental sustainability. What are the changes needed from the public sector, industry, and consumers?

We focus on how to steer with the tools of pricing, reimbursement, and public procurement of medicines. To get insights on these issues, we hear about best Nordic practices and learn what are the views of consumers, companies, and public purchasers on the future of sustainable pharmaceuticals. Please see the detailed seminar programme below.
