Donations are physical items, benefits-in-kind, or services provided by pharmaceutical companies to different types of organisations including healthcare, medical, scientific and charitable organisations as well as patient organisations.
Donations can be requested by organisations or offered by the pharmaceutical company.
Donations cannot be given to individuals.
Daiichi Sankyo UK (DSUK) will ensure that any donations that they provide to organisations meet the requirements set out by the Association of British Pharmaceutical Companies (ABPI) Code (pmcpa.org.uk)
In line with the principles outlined above, Daiichi Sankyo (DSUK) has funded and helped to develop specific Lipid Management Services to support NHS organisations.
These initiatives, to varying degrees, aim to help HCOs:
Therapy Optimisation Programme (‘Therapy Reviews’)
This is a clinical therapy review service designed to assist practices in the implementation of a systematic approach to therapeutic lipid/cholesterol management in relation to primary and secondary prevention and is aligned to support national clinical strategies.
The purpose of therapy reviews is to identify patients in primary care who require review and optimisation of their lipid/cholesterol management, based on a set of clinical criteria agreed with the lead physician of the GP practice.
The service is delivered by a third-party provider, Inspira Health.
Lipid Quality Improvement (Lipid QI) Dashboard
This dashboard includes tools and resources to assist the primary care physician in identifying and risk stratifying patients who's lipid/cholesterol management could be optimised. The prescriber can use the collated information from the dashboard to make their own informed clinical decision to improve the management of their patients in accordance with local and national prescribing protocols.
This service is delivered by the third party provider, Interface Clinical Services.
Requests for the Therapy Optimisation Programme (Therapy Review) or Lipid Quality Improvement Dashboard will be considered on an ongoing basis until end of March 2025.

Cardiovascular and Lipid Data Capture Tool
The Cardiovascular and Lipid Data Capture tool provides healthcare organisations (HCO) with a quick way to securely and anonymously record and pool information relating to their patients with dyslipidaemia and hypercholesterolaemia.
Information collected and collated within the tool includes general medical and cardiovascular (CV) history, blood lipid values, blood pressure, total CV risk, lipid-lowering treatments, as well as patients’ lipid goals. From this information, clinicians can retrospectively review patients’ outcomes from their clinics and this can help inform clinical governance decisions for the HCO.
