Laura
Batchelor

For over 20 years, I’ve worked in public affairs to shape debates, move opinions, inspire action and drive change in healthcare and the life sciences. Building FIPRA into a world-class agency at the intersection of business, politics and policy has been my life’s work, alongside raising two incredible daughters in Brussels.

I’ve built a practice where, together with colleagues, we can act as honest brokers amongst diverse stakeholders from patients and clinicians to industry and policy makers. Time and again I’ve seen that the solutions that last and deliver the most impact are those co-created, often in coalitions that I’ve always enjoyed building across Europe.

I have particular expertise in tackling the challenges for patient access to healthcare, financing models for innovative medicines, regulatory frameworks and driving forward a holistic approach for human and environmental health.

I’m proud to be a founder and board member of W@Lifesciences, a platform connecting and promoting women professionals in the life sciences, and to Co-Chair the British Chamber of Commerce’s Health Committee.
