Amgen’s UK/Ireland Medical Department comprises a number of functions and works across our portfolio of licensed products and pipeline drugs. It delivers support to the organisation in the form of the Regulatory, Pharmacovigilance, Medical Affairs, Medical Information and Development Field Operations, serving both internal and external customers.

Based on a solid understanding of diseases and their current treatments, we aspire to improve people's lives by changing the practice of medicine.

The Medical Affairs team generates scientific and medical data by conducting clinical research and supporting investigator sponsored studies. A field based component of the team, the Regional Medical Liaison Group, conduct medical-scientific communication and education, working closely with opinion leaders in relevant disease areas.

To support a successful market entry and best-possible patient access for new drugs, the Medical Department collaborates closely with our colleagues in Marketing, Sales and Health Economics. For more information on the functions within the Medical Department please refer to separate sections on Regulatory, Pharmacovigilance and Development Field Operations.
