Session Title
From Innovation to Integration: How Do We Turn AI and Digital Health into Real Neighbourhood Care?
Description
This debate explores how AI and digital innovation are shaping neighbourhood care, with a focus on strengthening collaboration between community pharmacy and general practice. Our panel will discuss how shared data, AI-enabled triage, and tools like the NHS App and GP Connect can improve access, streamline referrals into Pharmacy First, and support more proactive care. We’ll also examine practical and ethical challenges, alongside real-world examples of what’s already working across local systems.
