The public and patients view the healthcare sector and NHS as one consistent entity. Conversely, it is fragmented and siloed into several different components and collaboration is not seamless. The Government has called for collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem which will be a “culture shock for the NHS” all in the aims to establish an optimised NHS fit for patients and the future.

Main Room20 minsSummary: Medefer has delivered consultant-led specialist care to over 170,000 NHS patients across 25 partnerships, with an average review time of 31 hours from referral to first consultant response. In this session, Dr Nedjat-Shokouhi will share the Medefer journey, from a concept that was later cited as a blueprint for NHS Online, to a national specialist service operating across multiple specialties. He will explore the model Medefer has developed for delivering specialist care nationally through a consultant network while keeping delivery local and community-connected, and how this approach can support neighbourhood health teams as they evolve.
Key learning points:
1. The Medefer journey, from start-up to a national specialist service delivering care across multiple specialties and 25 NHS partnerships. 2. How a national consultant network can deliver specialist care locally, improving access and reducing waiting times for patients and communities
3. Where specialist services fit within neighbourhood health, and what we can learn from primary care teams to better support integrated care locally

Main Room20 minsPatients with long-term conditions need more than access to digital tools, they need continuous, trusted relationships with clinicians. This session explores how neighbourhood health systems can deliver this through a blended model of human care and digital support. It will demonstrate how combining pharmacist-led care with remote monitoring and patient engagement tools can improve adherence, reduce inequalities, and deliver more responsive, personalised care at scale. -

Main Room20 minsThe NHS 10 Year Health Plan and Neighbourhood Health Framework set out the most significant shift in primary care procurement in a generation: 250 neighbourhood health centres, new MNP and SNP contract types, and a £5.9bn-a-year transformation reserve. But neighbourhoods will not run on point solutions stitched together. Drawing on Anima's deployments across all 42 ICBs and over 1,000 practices, this session sets out why Integrated Neighbourhood Teams need a single orchestration layer connecting GP, community and acute services - and how AI-native workflows for triage, documents and clinical scribing are already delivering same-day access at population scale.

Main Room20 minsThis symposium has been initiated and funded by Takeda UK Ltd. City and Hackney faced an unsustainable adult ADHD pathway, with up to 11 year waits and significant pressure on primary care. IPC led a pragmatic, system wide response by shifting work into primary care through funded annual reviews, training GPs and pharmacists, advice and guidance support, and piloting GPwERs in ADHD. This approach reduced referrals to secondary care, enabled widespread prescribing and reviews, and improved confidence in managing straightforward cases. The model demonstrates how incremental, funded primary care transformation can stabilise ADHD care and offers a template for future all age neurodevelopmental services.
