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 system mobilisation for aflibercept and golimumab biosimilars just prior to the MPSC frameworks starting, and planning for denosumab and other upcoming biosimilar and key generic medicines.
