- These results are derived from a global review of pharma’s corporate reputation (conducted November 2016 to early-February 2017).
- The results form the opinions of 94 UK patient groups (36 specialised in cancer; 22 in rare diseases; 16 in Parkinson's; 9 in mental health; and other specialties).
- 17 pharma companies are included in this 2016 UK analysis: • AbbVie • Amgen •
AstraZeneca • Bayer • Biogen • Boehringer Ingelheim • Bristol-Myers Squibb • Eli Lilly (Lilly) • GSK • Janssen • Merck & Co • Novartis • Novo Nordisk • Pfizer • Roche • Sanofi and • Teva.
The 17 companies were chosen because a minimum of 17 UK patient groups declared familiarity with each one.
- In response to a survey of pharmaceutical companies, Janssen provided information on its patient centricity and relations with patient-advocacy groups during 2016-2017 in the UK.
Industry-wide questions: - How the pharma industry’s corporate reputation compares with that of other healthcare industries.
- How the pharma
industry’s corporate reputation has changed over the past five years.

7 indicators show the corporate reputation of individual pharma companies: - Patient centricity.
- Information for patients.

(new for 2016).
