Practices
Advocacy.
Understanding healthcare policy and working in partnership with patients, governments, parliaments, and regulators to improve patient outcomes
The nexus of public policy, government institutions, patients and industry has never been more vital to ensuring that healthcare is allocated according to the greatest societal need, that governments support life science companies and that patients are at the heart of decision-making.
At Aurora we help clients understand this interwoven environment with deep insights and develop strategies with impact that deliver for patients, healthcare authorities and industry alike.
Services.

Our approach.
No client, campaign or issue is ever the same. We develop bespoke strategies using deep insights into patient communities and policy environment to provide practical advice and the implementation of solutions, whether at a corporate organisational level or to accelerate access to innovation in geographies where there is unmet patient need.
