Putting the patient at the centre this Prostate Cancer Awareness month This #ProstateCancerAwarenessMonth, we are highlighting the importance of talking about men’s health. At Accord, we understand the importance of open dialogue and knowledge-sharing around #ProstateCancer. Honest conversations and shared experiences can empower the prostate cancer community to ask important questions, make informed decisions and navigate their journey with confidence. Sometimes, symptoms or side effects of treatment can be seen as embarrassing; go unspoken about; become "unmentionable”. However, discussing them is vital for men to understand their options and get support tailored to their unique needs. That's why we are collaborating with men with lived experiences of prostate cancer, to support and amplify these vital conversations, which in turn can encourage and empower men to speak openly about their health, needs and condition with their medical team, that encourages shared decision making. Stay tuned for more on this – coming soon! (s)

At Accord, we firmly believe in the power of nurturing and supporting our female colleagues. We support the movement in demanding fairer, equitable, diverse and inclusive environments for all and have given a lot of thought to making sure our policies, culture and leadership reflect that. Clara Carter, our UK Country Manager Generics is also the inaugural chair of the British Generic Manufacturers Association (BGMA) Women’s Network and spoke to Citeline Commercial Generics Bulletin to mark this important day. She said “My vision for this network is to nurture a space that encourages our members to celebrate each other's achievements and showcase integrity, passion and kindness, coupled with sharing experiences and ideas to build confidence. It’s key that we support women in leadership, business, STEM and decision-making. As the first elected chair of this group, I believe it will empower and elevate women in the pharmaceutical industry and promote equity by fostering and nurturing a community that promotes leadership, innovation, and professional and personal development.” Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at Accord. #AccordHealthcare #InternationalWomensDay2025 #AccelerateAction https://lnkd.in/enM3bFzs (S)

On Wednesday, March 5th, we gathered with colleagues from the Accord network to celebrate the outstanding achievements of women at Accord in honour of International Women's Day 2025. We discussed ways to #AccelerateAction and our commitment to supporting women to thrive at Accord. A special thank you to Lis Allen for hosting such an inspiring event. #IWD2024 #AccordHealthcare (S)

It's British Science Week until March 16th, and we are celebrating the Accord #STEM program in Fawdon, which engages young people and encourages them to pursue careers in STEM. Research conducted for British Science Week in 2022 revealed that less than 1 in 5 (17%) 14–18-year-olds in the North East of England are interested in a career in science. The Accord STEM Program, led by Nina Gray and Siobhan Alderson in Fawdon, aims to change this by showcasing the wide range of career opportunities available at our site for children and young people. #BritishScienceWeek #CareersInSTEM #AccordHealthcare (s)

This International Women’s Day (IWD), Clara Carter, Country Manager, Generics at Accord and Chair of the British Generic Manufacturers Association (BGMA) Women’s Network joined Diane DiGangi Trench (Chair BGMA and Country Head Sandoz, UK) on her regular podcast ‘Medicine Matters’.   The two chairs reflected on their personal career journeys and discussed the vision of this new network as a source of empowerment for its members. With the theme for IWD being to #AccelerateAction for a diverse, equitable, and inclusive world, it completely aligns with the objectives of the BGMA Women’s Network which aims to be a space where colleagues can collaborate, create, and collectively thrive, irrespective of their background, culture, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Clara said “The healthcare industry is one in which throughout history, men and women from different races, religions, cultures and backgrounds have made life-changing contributions for the greater good. We have a responsibility to lead the way and inspire generations.” #InternationalWomensDay2025 #AccelerateAction #AccordHealthcare #DEI https://lnkd.in/eTEzYPU8 (S)

At Accord, we strive to create an environment where women can succeed and a culture of inclusivity. Ahead of International Women's Day, we asked our colleagues to nominate people who have made a positive impact for women at Accord and who have driven meaningful change. #AccelerateAction #IWD2025 #accordhealthcare (s)

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.   Did you know that prostate cancer has now become the most common type of cancer for men in UK? That means that 1 in 8 men will develop the disease (that's 1 in 4 for Black men).   However, we also know that early detection saves lives. Right now there is more going on than ever to tackle the disease. The arguments for driving forward screening reforms are rising up the agenda for the most at-risk groups of men. It feels as if 2025 could be a key moment for how this disease is diagnosed and treated in the UK.   At Accord we look forward to continuing to play our part in these conversations, alongside parliamentarians, charities, the healthcare profession and our industry peers.   We also plan to turn awareness into action by providing diagnosed patients with the tools they need to have the most empowered and informed conversations with their healthcare professionals as possible.   We will be marking Prostate Cancer Awareness Month across our sites over the next four weeks and would like to invite all our colleagues to get involved.   #ProstateCancer #AccordHealthcare Prostate Cancer UK (S)

Earlier this week Accord was proud to attend the first full meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on prostate cancer in parliament, alongside representatives from Prostate Cancer UK, Prostate Cancer Research and other stakeholders. With the news recently that prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in the UK, the meeting was an opportunity to engage in debate, and hear about the latest thinking on early detection and care, and the arguments for driving forward screening reforms for the most at-risk groups of men, as the UK enters a key moment for how this disease is diagnosed and treated. We look forward to continuing to be part of the conversation, alongside parliamentarians, charities, the healthcare profession and our industry peers. #prostatecancer #prostate #cancer #screening #urology (S)
