Speakers from NHS England and NHS SPS will provide an update about biosimilar and key generic medicines expected in 2025/26. There will be a focus on aflibercept, golimumab, nilotinib and ferric carboxymaltose, and an opportunity to ask questions and share experience.
This webinar is intended for NHS procurement and clinical teams who will be implementing upcoming biosimilar and high value generic medicines. It will not be recorded as some information is commercially confidential and subject to change.
Why it’s important
Implementation of biosimilar and key generic medicines requires collaborative working across the system. The use of biological medicines, including biosimilars, in clinical practice is expanding. Timely implementation and use of biosimilar and key generic medicines offers the NHS opportunities to deliver better value for certain conditions.
What will be covered
Updated information to support planning and implementation for upcoming biosimilar and key generic medicines, specifically aflibercept, golimumab, nilotinib and ferric carboxymaltose.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions of NHSE and NHS SPS colleagues. Additional time has been added to the session to extend the Q&A for those who can attend.

A range of speakers from SPS and other organisations will run this event.
