NextGen

Your organisation builds your experience. BHBIA connects you to the wider industry.

NextGen is BHBIA's community for people within their first five years of healthcare business insights and analytics, in pharma and agency organisations alike.

Whatever role you're in, NextGen gives you access to the broader network, perspective and skills that complement the opportunities your organisation gives you.

What is NextGen?

NextGen sits at the heart of BHBIA's purpose, giving the people behind the industry's market research, data and analytics the standards, skills and community that make insights trustworthy and decisions better, starting from day one of their career.

It's built around a simple idea that your employer gives you role-specific experience and training. NextGen adds more alongside that, including industry connections, cross-sector learning, and a professional community that extends beyond your immediate role or organisation.

The Four Pillars

01 · Connect

Build a network of peers from across the healthcare business insights landscape, wherever they sit in the industry.

Who is NextGen for?

NextGen is open to BHBIA members in the first five years of a healthcare business insights and analytics career, regardless of job title, specialism, or which side of the industry you sit on. That includes people who've moved into the profession from another industry altogether, not just those on a traditional early-career path, in roles like:

  • Market research and insight professionals
  • Fieldwork specialists
  • Data scientists and analysts
  • AI and automation specialists
  • Forecasters and modellers
  • CRM and commercial data teams
  • Commercial excellence professionals
  • Insight managers and decision support teams
  • Anyone whose work sits within, or feeds into, healthcare business insights

 

However you got here, if you're within your first five years, NextGen is for you.

What it means for organisations

NextGen helps organisations develop confident, connected professionals who understand not only their own role, but also the wider healthcare insights landscape. It gives people in their first five years of a healthcare business insights and analytics career, whether they're new to the industry or have moved into it from elsewhere, external networks, cross-industry learning and broader professional development that sits alongside your internal programmes.

That's more value from your BHBIA membership, and a stronger generation of future contributors to the profession.
