why we exist.

Let's be honest - the pharma industry is generally very traditional and doesn’t have a great reputation.

Yet the work it does is life-or-death important, and health is a very emotive industry. It could be so much better - and we want to help it get there.

Impatient Health is a catalyst for change within pharma. We connect those who believe that pharma has great untapped potential and are desperate to do things differently - and help them through events, research and strategy consulting.

This gives us a unique platform from which to challenge others and inspire them to do better for patients.
