YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Making launch economics work under VPAG payment pressure
- Under the 2025 VPAG, sales of newer branded medicines can incur a 22.9% payment rate, making net-price forecasting and launch investment decisions harder.
- To manage that exposure, YCP links pricing, volume and scenario models to payer priorities, helping teams build resilient access strategies and protect value.
Translating NICE approval into consistent local access
- Although NICE guidance is normally funded within 90 days, adoption can vary across England’s 42 integrated care systems, delaying consistent patient access.
- YCP converts national value propositions into local engagement plans, supporting formulary positioning, stakeholder alignment and faster implementation.
Keeping demand generation aligned with NHS capacity
- The NHS elective-care waiting list remains above 7 million pathways, while workforce and diagnostic constraints can slow diagnosis, referral and treatment initiation.
- By mapping patient journeys and care bottlenecks, YCP helps teams focus resources on practical interventions that support diagnosis, referral and treatment uptake.
Adapting commercial plans across four NHS systems
- Companies must navigate four devolved NHS systems, each with distinct assessment, commissioning and formulary routes; a single UK launch plan rarely transfers unchanged.
- YCP combines market insight with tailored go-to-market design, enabling teams to prioritise opportunities and adapt engagement by nation and stakeholder group.
