Health and life sciences form one of the four areas of strategic importance set out in the North East Strategic Economic Plan due to the region’s unique environment for health and life sciences innovation and strengths in medicines manufacturing.
This survey was commissioned on behalf of the North East Skills Advisory Panel (SAP), in response to the recommendations set out in the ‘Profile and Importance of the North East Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Sector: Growing its Contribution’ (2017) and ongoing industry feedback.
In-depth interviews with businesses were completed in Autumn 2020 and the results informed the SAP and the North East LEP to respond to industry needs and ensure education provision the sector’s existing and future needs.
