Anna Sherriff caught up with Frances Tulley, Franchise Lead for Alexion UK, to explore how innovation in healthcare goes far beyond new medicines. It’s about transforming systems, culture and mindsets.
From tackling the five-year “Diagnostic Odyssey” for rare diseases to pioneering data-driven partnerships with the NHS, Frances shares how Alexion is reimagining its role in the healthcare ecosystem. With a bold test and learn approach, her team is pushing boundaries, from piloting scalable solutions, embracing risk and building cross-functional collaborations that put patients first.
