About the event

Speakers from NHS England and NHS SPS will provide an update about biosimilar and key generic medicines expected in 2025/26. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and share experience. 

This webinar is intended for commissioners and healthcare professionals providing NHS-commissioned care in England. It will not be recorded as some information is commercially confidential and subject to change. 

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.  

What will be covered

Updated information to support planning and implementation for upcoming biosimilar and high value generic medicines, including the recently published transition tender. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of NHSE and NHS SPS colleagues.

A range of speakers from SPS and other organisations will run this event.
