An outline agenda has been released for the inaugural Community Pharmacy and General Practice Conference, and will include a look at GP-pharmacy friction points and building an effective GP-pharmacy partnership.
Taking place at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham on 21–22 June 2026, the free, CPD-accredited two-day event is delivered in partnership with Management in Practice and the National Pharmacy Association.
