Who we are

At MSD in the UK, we’re ‘Inventing for Life’. We’re helping to transform the lives of millions of patients and populations in the UK by providing innovative medicines, vaccines and services, through our partnerships with the NHS and the work of the inspiring people who make up our company.

We are one of the top five global biopharmaceutical companies and we exist for one unique mission – to use the power of leading-edge science to save and improve the lives of patients, populations, and animals.

If you were born in the UK or own an animal, chances are that MSD is already part of your life through one of our vaccines or medicines.

Our people are our greatest asset

Whether creating medicines to address the world’s most urgent health challenges, developing technology-based healthcare solutions, or ensuring a steady supply of essential vaccines, they all embrace the spirit of invention… relentlessly seeking innovative, novel and intelligent ways to help ensure those healthier, happier lives for patients and populations across the UK.

We create powerful partnerships

Because we know we can change the world, but we know we can’t do it alone. Our much valued collaborations with the NHS, leading universities, cutting-edge research bodies and non-profit organisations are intended to create ways to transform healthcare in the UK and around the world.

We do it all for patients, their families, their friends, their loved ones – their lives.

For us, vaccines and medicines are the greatest of inventions… the power they have to save, improve and extend the lives of individuals is immeasurable.

That’s why we’re ALL about “Inventing For Life”
