Thank you, @BioAlberta, for inviting us to join this important conversation. Patients need to be at the centre of Canada’s life sciences strategy, not consulted after decisions are made. Alberta can lead by advancing the Task Force recommendations with #patients included.
Powered by @innovativemeds, this panel brings together industry leaders that participated on Canada’s National Pharmaceutical Task Force. The panelists identified the necessity for national coordination in order for Canada’s pharmaceutical and health sector to compete globally.

The Alberta FAST program aims to reduce the time it takes to begin recruiting patients from more than 90 days to 45.
