Explore real-world case studies showcasing successful partnerships between community pharmacy and general practice, delivering both clinical and financial wins. Discover how breaking down professional silos, building trust, and shifting from competition to collaboration can create tangible, locally replicable outcomes. Sessions will highlight joint approaches across medicines optimisation, medicine shortages, waste reduction, vaccinations, and long-term condition management, with GPs, nurses and community pharmacy working together, alongside opportunities for contractual alignment between general practice and community pharmacy. Learn from the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme pilots and see how they are driving impact in addressing health inequalities and tackling multimorbidity.

Rising demand and pressure on general practice make collaboration with community pharmacy essential - but it must be coordinated, reliable and clinically coherent. Poorly aligned services risk duplication, fragmented care, and patient confusion, while inconsistent availability frustrates both GPs and pharmacists. This track explores how barriers between GPs and pharmacists can be dismantled to deliver sustainable, patient-centred services that free up capacity and improve access through schemes such as Pharmacy First and New Medicines Services. Sessions focus on clarifying roles, improving continuity, and building dependable pathways, while showcasing innovative pharmacy-led services, from mental health and contraception to weight management. There will also be updates on a National Community Pharmacy Prescribing Service and the evolving GP Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP) role.

Community pharmacy has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape the future of neighbourhood health - but only if its voice is heard.

Strengthen and update your skills in readiness to diversify your service offering and seize new opportunities emerging from neighbourhood contracts, while exploring how to build a thriving portfolio career across community pharmacy and general practice.

Neighbourhoods will ultimately fail if the technology isn’t there to support them.
