Jan Balmer

Locality: Nottingham, United Kingdom
Summary: . After 6 years working as a registered nurse for the NHS, Jan Balmer joined the Pharmaceutical Industry in 1989. Over the past 20 years I have held a variety of senior management positions within blue chip pharmaceutical companies, specialising in sales management, marketing, NHS policy and public affairs. In June 2002. I founded Balmer Consulting, a specialist strategic healthcare consultancy offering expert advice and knowledge of Government, Health, NHS and Pharmaceutical policy and Public Affairs support to Pharmaceutical Companies, NGOs, Government agencies and the NHS. For the past 3 year I have also acted as a facilitator on behalf of the ABPI NHS Outreach programme setting up and implementing 2 major disease management programmes involving 11 pharmaceutical companies, a PCT, the local hospital; trust and patient organisations. I have for the past 6 years also acted as Chief Operating Officer of the Pharmaceutical Schizophrenia Initiative (PSI) , a collaboration between four blue Chip Pharmaceutical companies with an interest in the development and marketing of medicines for serious mental illness. The PSI works with national payers and government bodies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of people with serious mental illness. The PSI is currently working in partnership with the DH and the NHS on a national collaboration which aims to improve the commissioning of services for people with serious mental illness. I am also working with NHS Nottingham City developing and managing a number of projects which aim to reduce hospital admissions for COPD, Diabetes and Falls Related fractures and looking at how the PCT can work in partnership with the commercial sector ( including the pharmaceutical industry) to achieve this.
