Speakers from NHS England and NHS SPS will provide an overview of their role in introducing biosimilar and key generic medicines and how this supports the integrated care system.

Why it’s important
Implementation of biosimilar and key generic medicines requires collaborative working across the system. Use of biological medicines, including biosimilars, in clinical practice is well established and rapidly increasing. Timely implementation and use of biosimilar and key generic medicines offers the NHS opportunities to deliver better value for certain conditions.

- An overview of NHS England’s role in planning and implementing biosimilar and key generic medicines.
- An understanding of NHS SPS role and scope in supporting the system to implement biosimilar and key generic medicines.
