Keynote: Tomorrow's NHS without NHS England - What is the future for Pharma?
Through the eyes of a former NICE insider; a 30,000-foot full-throttle take on the collapse of NHS England's structure – and the ripple effects across commissioning, VPAG, NICE, ICBs and pharma's next move.
Broadcast from the BHBIA Annual Conference 2025 in Wembley Park, Omar Ali – a former NICE insider – takes the stage with a candid, high-energy briefing on the dramatic upheavals in NHS England’s structures. Framed through a payer’s lens, Omar unpacks how these shifts ripple through commissioning, VPAG, NICE, ICBs, and pharma’s next strategic steps.
Key Themes:
Inside the Restructuring: A critical look at the collapse of the NHS’s structures and the new “neighborhood team” dynamics.
Beyond the Sales Pitch: Why manufacturers must shift from selling to proving real-world usage and outcomes – and what this means for local payers.
Flexible Contracting: How value-based procurement and adaptable contracting are no longer optional but essential.
A Call to Collaborate: Navigating these changes demands shared problem-solving, not static solutions.
Takeaway:
Pharma and medtech companies need to rethink their entire approach – moving from transactional deals to system-wide solutions that stand up to real-world testing.
