Pharmaceutical Industry Overview

The pharmaceutical industry makes up the part of the medical sector that is involved with the development, manufacture and marketing of medicinal products, including veterinary medicines and medical devices. These products aim to prevent, treat and cure diseases, as well as maintain health in animals and humans.

Opportunities in the pharmaceutical industry have never been greater. According to the ABPI (the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry), there are 73,000 people employed in pharmaceutical jobs in the UK and due to the coronavirus pandemic, the demand for skilled workers to join the industry is greater than ever. The pharma industry has played a huge part in the global recovery from the pandemic, with companies such as Pfizer and Astra Zeneca creating vaccines that will eventually allow our lives to return to normal.
