About Us

"Fingerpost Consulting have again produced an outstanding review pertaining to the use of PRO’s in the payer landscape. This niche area is not always easy to review and requires an expert understanding of the varied payer sites and how technical documents are compiled to allow pertinent substrate to be found. Fingerpost Consulting excel at this and in extracting the key messages to help inform clients PRO strategy from a market access perspective."

About Us

FINGERPOST was founded by Catherine Bacon in 2015 with the aim of supporting market access projects. Victoria joined the permanent team in January 2019 to further build and manage our Associate and Payer networks, therefore increasing the scope of projects we are able to deliver. As of September 2019, we have focused entirely on supporting and delivering Payer Insight.

Why focus on Payer Insight?
The short answer: To help increase patient access to treatment.

The long answer: After working with a number of different agencies supporting everything from HTA submissions through to the development of Payer Value Communication materials, we started to receive more and more requests for Payer Insight. By conducting more research in this area and engaging with an increasing numbers of payers, we started to realise the value that these insights offer. After all, our motivation for working in market access (which isn't always the easiest field to navigate!) is to increase patient access to treatments. And we firmly believe that the only way to do this is to not only understand the pricing, reimbursement and access landscape, but also the human element of how decisions are made, who is involved, and what is driving those decisions. No two projects are the same thanks to the ever-changing political landscape, financial challenges and the associated reforms; findings solutions that optimise access requires:

Collaboration with market experts
In-depth discussion with payers
Innovative and strategic thinking

We may not be able to solve your local or global access issues, but we'd like to put you on the right track by providing Payer Insight.
