Although much uncertainty remains (not least with the election approaching), there have been recent announcements indicating what we may expect for primary care in the NHS. The 2024–25 GP Contract, along with details of QOF and PCN DES, was published recently, set out over 11 documents. The funded targets set out here are key for Pharma and Medtech market access strategies, as they drive GP practices and their prescribing. The NHS Operational Planning Guidance was also published at the end of March, right before the start of the new financial year.

At this crucial juncture, we sit down with panellists from across primary care to explore:

• Where NHS primary care is heading and what this means for your strategy and business planning
• Prescribing and decision-making in primary care
• The implications of the GP Contract for PCNs, GPs, patients, and industry
• What this means for integration and the integrated care model
• Policy priorities in practice and what to expect in an election year
• How Pharma, Medtech, and Diagnostics companies can best engage with primary care leaders
