** In association with FDB Health**

  • Discuss the current state of Pharmacy First: what’s holding back adoption, and how confidence, infrastructure, and trust need to be built.
  • Examine the contractual, cultural and digital barriers to embedding pharmacy in primary care
  • Explore the untapped potential of the pharmacy workforce to deliver long-term prescribing, medication management, and preventative care closer to home.
  • Identify what a modern, integrated model of primary care could look like - with pharmacy as a core partner, not a pressure-release valve.
