Why it’s important
Implementation of biosimilar and key generic medicines requires collaborative working across the system. The use of biological medicines, including biosimilars, is expanding in clinical practice.
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
- An update on progress with biosimilar implementation
- A forward view to new medicines on tariff from April 2026, and a five year strategic outlook
- Novel ideas for communicating and engaging with patients about biosimilar implementation
- A question and answer session with NHSE and NHS SPS colleagues
