Chief pharmaceutical officer for England David Webb will be one of the keynote speakers at the National Pharmacy Association’s online conference next week.

The conference, which takes place on September 13-14, will see Mr Webb and other guests discuss the future of community pharmacy and share practical advice for pharmacy teams.

Other speakers in the keynote session will offer perspectives from primary care, parliament and patients, said the NPA.

The theme of the conference is Pharmacy Odyssey: Services, Supply and Sustainability.

The conference, which is to be hosted by BBC medical editor Fergus Walsh, will look at topics including genomics, workforce pressures, automation and the business aspects of running a pharmacy.

NPA director of membership Simon Tebbutt said: “With the NPA centenary in 2021 behind us, this will be a foray into the future - mapping the coming decade, and next half-century – as well as covering the many challenges of the present time.”
