Clarity
A defined decision. A reasoned recommendation. A next step people can act on.
Daniel McCormick · Founder & Principal
Senior judgement.
Personal accountability.
Independent advice is most useful when it connects the scientific purpose, the regulatory decision and the people who have to make the arrangement work.
Experience across the decisions that matter.
Daniel combines senior regulatory leadership with a background in clinical academic research.
His work spans international access programmes, post-trial transitions, real-world evidence planning and regulatory governance. That combination connects the purpose of a programme with its regulatory route and the practical arrangements needed to deliver it.
Through IAE, Daniel leads focused strategic reviews, programme design and implementation, service development and continuing regulatory leadership. Clients work directly with him. Additional clinical, legal, methodological, statistical or local expertise is agreed where the assignment needs it.
Daniel’s perspective
I help organisations make complex decisions about medicines access and evidence, then put those decisions into practice.
That means examining the assumptions, making the implications clear and staying close enough to the work to understand whether the plan is usable.
Principles you should see in the work.
The standard for how IAE assesses, communicates and follows through.
Human perspective
The effect on patients, families, healthcare teams and delivery partners stays part of the assessment.
Sound judgement
Evidence, interpretation and uncertainty are distinct. Conditions and limitations are explicit.
Practical follow-through
Responsibilities, timing and review points are agreed. The advice connects to the work that follows.
Independent advice. Explicit responsibilities.
IAE’s advice is independent of a medicine supply or logistics sale. Each assignment makes the commissioner, scope and any relevant conflicts explicit. Daniel leads the agreed work directly, with additional expertise agreed where needed. Formal clinical, regulatory, quality and authorised-person decisions remain with the responsible parties.
The purpose behind IAE
Good science. People in view.
IAE exists to help good science become workable opportunities for patients and the people delivering care. The patient and family perspective belongs in the assessment of how a programme will operate.
IAE combines commissioned work with selected pro bono and charitable contributions, subject to an agreed purpose and available capacity. Community activity follows the priorities of the people it is intended to support, with its purpose and arrangements agreed explicitly.
