- Dr Rosanna Fennessy (University of Cambridge), who shares recent research mapping patient journeys to understand experiences with anticipatory prescribing and how care can be improved
- Dr Ikumi Okamoto (University of Edinburgh), who examines challenges to timely access to medications issues during out-of-hours periods.
