Market access consultancy

At Thistle, we’ve been successfully supporting our Pharma clients around market access for some years. We use a blend of data-derived insights and our broad experience to propose strategy and direct implementation. With a speciality in digital listing interfaces associated with the varied clinical and supply chain cascades, we ensure our clients products are discoverable where and when they’re needed.

Outsource bespoke and batch manufacture

From amongst our broad network of partners, Thistle Pharma can offer outsource bespoke and batch manufacture across a broad portfolio of products and presentations from GSL and Food Supplements to aseptic and controlled substances. Whether you’re looking for a partner to manage your production needs from end to end or simply need signposting, give us a call to see if we can help.

Controlled end to end managed access programs

Managed Access Programs (MAPs) comprise a variety of regulatory approaches to providing access to unapproved essential medicines outside a clinical trial or commercial setting for example when a product is in the pre-approved phase of development in one or more territories. At Thistle Pharma our regulatory architecture and multidisciplinary network means we can leverage end to end key capabilities to support Pharma in such early access ventures.

Niche procurement solutions

The MHRA have afforded Thistle Pharma with specialist MS (Import) licensure to permit the compliant 3rd country importation of pharmaceuticals not licensed in the UK, but licensed elsewhere in the world. Our extensive network of approved international suppliers means that we can access portfolios in most territories. If you manage patients with a requirement for such rare or unusual therapy, then let us manage your procurement needs and deliver product to support their unmet needs.

Specialist supply chain services

If you’re looking for a solution-led partner that understands compliance and GDP fulfilment, then let us support you via our network of subcontractors and specialist service providers. With successful healthcare operations in most regulatory segments, if we don’t already have it, we’ll build a model which will work for you.

Peer to peer wholesale of UK Unlicensed medicines

At Thistle Pharma, our specialist pharmacists and technicians are here to give you the answers you need at the point of order. With a wealth of experience and access to a plethora of varied databases, we see ourselves as an extension to your pharmacy team, resourcing peer to peer support for you to deliver as a healthcare professional within your practice. Whatever the question, be it about formulation, availability, lead-times, shelf-life or just regulatory support, we’re here to give you the answers when you need them.
