Tuesday 12th May 2026 13:00 - 14:00 (BST)
A practical guide to the structure, influence and commercial potential of dispensing doctor practices
Masterclass Details:
Dispensing doctor practices serve millions of patients in rural and semi-rural communities and play a distinctive role in the UK healthcare landscape. Their combined clinical and dispensing responsibilities create different incentives, pressures and engagement needs compared with standard GP practices.
In this 60-minute masterclass,Greg Bull, Director at Dispensing Doctor Experts UK, will give a clear overview of the dispensing doctor environment and the opportunities it presents for Life Sciences organisations. He will explain how dispensing practices are funded, how prescribing and procurement decisions are made and what Life Sciences teams need to understand about their operational and commercial realities.
The session will also explore how to work with dispensing doctors in a way that supports patient access, maintains compliance and creates value for both the practice and the wider system.
