• Recognise the contribution of the NHS, the life science industry and voluntary sectors in the provision of high quality care
• Commend care initiatives that implement high impact change programmes in those therapy areas involving the most prevalent and long-term conditions – those that represent the highest human cost and burden of healthcare resources
• Create a forum to facilitate further learning, sharing and dissemination of good practice within priority care pathways
• Create a forum and process that will promote collaboration between the NHS, Industry and voluntary sectors in working together towards the achievement of shared goals

• Facilitate the empowerment of those people living with a specific condition to be more active in managing that condition, and so achieve better health outcomes and live fuller, healthier and more productive lives.
