Co-Chaired by Dr Simon Opher MP, Sadik Al-Hassan MP, Jess-Brown Fuller MP and Lord Kamall, this session will focus on gathering evidence to understand who cannot get timely appropriate first contact care and why?

Expert contributors include:

• William Pett, Head of Policy, Public Affairs and Research, Healthwatch England
• Dr Emily T. Murray, Director, Centre for Coastal Communities, Institute for Public Health, University of Essex
• Tim Clarke, Director, Accessible Waterways Association CIC
• John Ford, Director, Health Equity Evidence Centre
• Shawn Charlwood, NHS Dentist and Board Member
• Robert Waterson, Executive Dean of Health, Sport and Bioscience, University of East London

This is the first of three evidence sessions and will help shape the APHG’s evidence-based recommendations to deliver lasting improvements across primary care.
