First Point of Care: Ministerial Roundtable on General Practice and Community Pharmacy

Following the launch of First Point of Care: A Plan for a Better NHS Front Door through Connected Primary Care in September, the All-Party Parliamentary Health Group (APHG) is progressing the next phase of its work to advance the report’s recommendations.

As part of this, the APHG will convene a focused roundtable with Diana Johnson MP, Minister of State for Public Health and Patient Safety, alongside the inquiry’s parliamentary co-chairs and key stakeholders.

This first ministerial discussion will focus on general practice and community pharmacy, exploring practical opportunities to take forward the report’s recommendations and highlighting how these can support the Government’s ambitions to strengthen primary care and neighbourhood health services.

The roundtable forms part of the APHG’s ongoing engagement with ministers and stakeholders to translate the inquiry’s findings into meaningful policy action.
