Nov 25, 2025

The bells are ringing out for another spectacular Christmas edition of PharmaTimes. This year, we recline and reflect on a transformative year across the pharmaverse, with wistful reminiscences from our panel of industry gurus. There is also plenty to unwrap from the NHS, as we explore how pharma will be breaking bread with public health in the months ahead. The bountiful gifts include features on medical innovation, a BAFTA-nominated film on women’s health, partnering with patients, igniting modern comms and tackling the curious trend of ‘stacking’. We also bring reports from our latest, lavish award ceremonies. Deploy the party poppers!
