• Examine how digitalisation of pathways can close identification gaps, target highest-risk cohorts, and optimise medication management in line with NICE guidelines.

• Discuss how pharmacy teams and wider workforce models can increase productivity, reduce non-value activity, and scale care across ICS populations.

• Explore population health approaches to service planning, embedding prevention-focused care, and aligning with national priorities.

• Understand the broader benefits of collaborative innovation, including improved patient outcomes, enhanced education and awareness, and social value for the NHS.
