About the event
An ‘on the couch’ discussion on the practical implementation of biosimilar insulin in primary care, focusing on hints and tips to consider should your system be considering this, and debunking some of the myths around biosimilar insulin.
This was the rescheduled event from June ’25.
Why it’s important
Biosimilar insulin use is increasing across the primary care landscape. This webinar hopes to instil confidence in those who are considering a move to biosimilar insulin and share practical considerations you may wish to think about as a system embarking on this journey.
What was covered
Speakers discussed and shared different approaches to implementing biosimilar insulin across their localities. Discussions spanned general practice, community pharmacy, and secondary care, critical when planning and implementing the transition to biosimilar insulin.
