How we Help

At Confluence, we penetrate barriers to cutting-edge health innovation.

Incompatible processes and policies, and cultural intricacies within health systems can create significant delays, increase the cost of going to market, and impact successful entry.

With targeted strategy, cultural effectiveness, and external engagement, we maximise your chances of success, and create better patient outcomes.

Services

GLOBALLY

External Affairs Support and Coaching

We work with commercial organisations, trade associations and NGOs to grow external affairs capability for policy development, stakeholder engagement, technical knowledge, and environmental shaping.

We strengthen your internal capabilities and engage on your behalf for priority projects.

Health Technology Assessment Consulting

We provide consultancy for effective Health Technology Assessments (HTAs). With global expertise working within and alongside HTAs from established to emerging, we help make processes more effective, with solutions and policies designed for better health outcomes.

Policy Shaping for Disruptive Innovation

We address incompatible policies to improve regulatory and reimbursement pathways, so breakthrough medicines, co-dependent technologies, and digital health innovations gain market access.

AUSTRALIA

Implementing
Precision Medicine

As a sophisticated health system, Australia is an attractive market for innovation.

Meeting the needs of both federal and state health systems can be a complex process. Multiple timelines and requirements can create delays, uncertainty, and additional costs.

Innovations such as drug device combinations do not easily fit within the health system’s current categories, which can further delay progress to adoption and patient access.

With extensive local experience working within and alongside the Australian health system, we work with the system itself to help you address policy and process barriers, to successfully introduce new genomic technologies to the market.

JAPAN

Cultural Strategy and
Engagement

Many organisations struggle to penetrate the Japanese market.

Taking a western approach can cause costly delays and entry failure in this critical market. Success requires insider understanding with a planned, considered approach at all levels and stages.

With in-depth experience in Japan and a dedicated local partner, we plan and manage your external engagement with culturally aligned strategies for maximum success.

Highly connected across government, industry, and the health system in Japan, we help you to engage effectively with officials and decision makers to influence policies for market shaping.
