Delivering advanced therapies requires complex organisational change and close working with product and supply chain companies, regulators as well as patients and carers.
The toolkit provides resources to facilitate the delivery of advanced therapies and enable evaluation of an organisation’s readiness. It offers templates and exemplar documents that will prepare healthcare organisations for the development of local structures, systems, pathways, procedures, processes and workflows. We actively encourage the materials to be tailored to meet the needs of local governance, assurance structures and current ways of working.
The resources have been developed by the ATTC network as part of a project in which they are working with NHS organisations in England, Scotland and Wales and advanced therapy companies to optimise the clinical and commercial pathways for the delivery of cell and gene therapies.
