NHS winter planning 2024–25 – Engaging with NHS decision-makers through Autumn to Christmas

Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

How is the NHS preparing for winter? Which challenges are the most pressing for NHS decision-makers? How can industry best engage and support NHS decision-makers in the next few months?

In August, Karen Cooper (Senior Consultant – NHS Insight & Interaction, Mtech Access) was joined by Jo Turl (Former Director of Commissioning, Devon ICS) to explore these challenges.
Jo and Karen discuss:

• How ICBs and Directors of Commissioning prepare for winter pressures
• The current key areas of focus at Place and ICB level
• Specific challenges and pressures facing the NHS now and in the run up to winter
• Immediate and long-term impact of (expected) new government policies
• How industry can best support the NHS as it plans for winter and beyond
• How your field teams can engage with NHS commissioners over the next few months

This episode was first broadcast as a live webinar in August 2024.
