At UCB, everything we do starts with a simple question: "How can we create more value for people living with severe diseases?" In epilepsy care, this is especially imperative as we continue to work on addressing key unmet needs in epilepsy, notably drug-resistant epilepsy and disease modification.
We also understand the health differences among those living with epilepsy and are committed to making sure every epilepsy patient and caregiver is equipped with the knowledge they need to live optimally.
UCB’s 7 Core Values
Passion for performance
People with severe diseases inspire us to make a meaningful difference to as many lives as possible
Innovation

UCB’s Principles
There are 4 principles that serve as the basis of everything we do. They focus on better understanding not only our patients, but the ecosystem of care that impacts and touches them. We are focused on translating these principles into specific actions, behaviors, and decisions every day—with the intent of creating even greater value for patients. It’s likely that the principles your organizations hold are similar and likewise are pushing you to evolve based upon the rapidly changing healthcare landscape.

UCB’s Vision
Navigating the Epilepsy Ecosystem on behalf of the patient population to discover, synthesize, and share compelling evidence for improved outcomes. Those who suffer from epilepsy are in great need of improved care. That need serves as the foundation of our epilepsy team’s vision of removing healthcare barriers, reducing societal challenges, and identifying population health gaps for those with epilepsy.
To achieve our vision we
focus on 3 strategic drivers:
We foresee a vision for 2030 where epilepsy patients are treated by a diverse core of medicine-based solutions, each well fit through the use of predictive analytics and biomarkers and each augmented through technologies and services to drive better outcomes.
Unlock the Match
Ensuring that patients are aligned with the best solutions to reduce or eliminate the impact of epilepsy on their lives
Partner for Ideal
Engaging with patients to support them in reaching their ideal and to augment the impact of our medicines
Bridge the Gaps
Raising the standard of care through new solutions for those left behind by the current medicines and improving access to proven solutions for all.
