The BHBIA have set a goal that by 2023 we will be the industry association for thought leadership, professional development and ethical standards for deriving insights within UK healthcare. 

These three pillars will guide our decision making and investments:

Thought Leadership 

  • Facilitate bringing other industry experiences to our members to stimulate thoughts and inspiration
  • Hot topic discussions and latest developments that will resonate with our members

The BHBIA hits 60! - A well cut diamond? Or a lump of coal?


Watch our video to hear BHBIA Chairman Paul O’Nions, Sanofi and Claire Mottershead of Adelphi Research share with you the key findings of a major research project that Adelphi conducted during 2019 on behalf of the BHBIA. 

The research explored pharma company executives’ views on the future of business intelligence within the industry, and what this means for the BHBIA – to help us create our vision for the future and build momentum to achieve it. Paul goes on to explain our vision, and how this feeds into the BHBIA's goals as stated above.
