Planning in a volatile environment: how will the NHS reconcile its competing priorities and operational planning to meet its challenges?

Pharma Market Access Insights - from Mtech Access

What does the ‘2022/23 priorities and operational planning guidance’ document mean for the NHS, for Integrated Care System (ICS) development and for an NHS workforce still battling COVID? How realistic and achievable are the priorities set out, and how can Pharma and Medtech best help NHS leaders to achieve these goals?
Caroline Dawe (Deputy Director of Commissioning, Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group [CCG]) joins Tom Clarke (Director, Mtech Access) to explore all this and more.
The episode was first released live as a webinar on Friday 28th January 2022. Learn more about this webinar at: https://mtechaccess.co.uk/nhs-2022-23-priorities-operational-planning-guidance-webinar/
