   This conference focuses on social prescribing in England, assessing progress and discussing next steps.
   This Westminster Health Forum will be an opportunity to examine the impact and cost-effectiveness of social prescribing so far, ahead of the review of the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme in general practice taking place in early 2024.
   Delegates will discuss the developing role of social prescribing in tackling loneliness and prescribed medicine dependence, support with cost of living pressures and health inequalities, and in improving access to green spaces.
   It will also be an opportunity to discuss priorities for developing social prescribing programmes and how these can access new groups - including schools, prisons and veterans - following the National Academy for Social Prescribing being awarded funding to continue supporting people to access innovative mental health support.
   Further sessions examine the next steps for the social prescribing workforce, including challenges around pay, pressure and capacity, as well as issues with training and support for dealing with complex conditions, and the role of link workers and colleagues in addressing wider challenges in primary care.
   Overall, areas for discussion include:
   looking forward: next steps and the longer-term outlook for social prescribing - building the workforce to meet demand - developing local community healthcare partnerships integrated care: operating in new ICS structures - developing prevention initiatives - the role of social prescribing in addressing pressures in primary care workforce: priorities and challenges for expansion - opportunities for funding and training - engaging the voluntary sector in light of increased pressure on the NHS  cost-effectiveness: latest research and thinking on the efficacy of social prescribing - assessing progress on cost savings in the NHS and expectations for the scale and timing of tangible impacts widening delivery: next steps for accessing new groups such as schools, prisons and veterans - utilising funding - developing personalised patient care health inequalities: opportunities for further outreach initiatives - reaching communities who have the greatest inequalities - best practice in creating trusted relationships.

   Innovative medicines provide the opportunity to transform patient care, pathways, and outcomes. But how do we improve access and uptake of these medicines in a way that is affordable, and that supports the already overstretched health and care workforce. 
   This free online event from the King's Fund is an opportunity to consider some of the key challenges to access and uptake of innovative medicines in England. It will discuss:
   the current barriers to improving access to new medicines how to build on experiences and lessons from the rapid development, approval and rollout of vaccines and treatments as response to the Covid-19 pandemic. It will also consider what more can be done to address inequalities in uptake – especially in areas such as rare disease – and how to support and engage with an already overstretched workforce to improve uptake. Speakers will discuss:
   patients’ experiences, including how to address issues with variation in access and care how we realise the potential of innovative medicine in the light of the frontline challenges NHS clinicians and patients are facing and engage in the development of new models of care to facilitate uptake.
