Abstract: The United Kingdom has set up a sound and reasonable drug pricing system, which is constantly updated with changes of its national conditions. Its Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing and Access, Highly Specialised Technology and The Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework and other new policies have achieved good results in balance of the contradictory goals of reasonable control of health expenditure, ensuring patients' medication and strengthening innovation vitality. This paper studies the drug pricing policy and the latest progress in the United Kingdom, and draws on its useful ideas and methods to put forward policy suggestions for the optimization of China's drug market in four aspects:control mode, participation mechanism, evaluation method and drug compensation mechanism.
