🩺📢Last week we hosted our fifth Parliament & HealthTech Conference in Portcullis House With over 100 attendees, the event was a huge success and filled with important conversations surrounding our theme of ‘the Road to Resilience’. The importance of data and long-term transformative thinking within the NHS and our health system in general are topics that have never been more current with building back from the pandemic.
We want to thank our fantastic keynote speakers, Dr Samantha Roberts, Chief Executive, NICE – National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, and Syed Kamall, Innovation Minister at Department of Health and Social Care, for their contribution to the conversation 💡 It is always a great pleasure to get top-level decisionmakers to our events to hear the views of the Health Tech Alliance’s members.
💾 Our first panel featured a discussion on data and the value of partnerships between Government, NHS and industry. Huge thanks to our panellists for reminding our attendees on the importance of these relationships.
