11:15 Changing public attitudes towards private healthcare

Michela Arena, Research Manager, Public First

11:30 Panel Discussion What patients really want

What are patients looking for from private healthcare? How easy is it for them to navigate and get the care they want? How are demographic shifts changing the type of services patients want? Why do patients go private and is the changing patient profile shifting the dial in the patient/provider relationship? Is the patient voice being heard loud enough in the sector?

Dr Katie Tryon, Commercial Director ‒ Health, Vitality

David Levy, Founder and Director, Private Medical Health

Susan Alexander, President, Independent Doctors Federation

Aubrey Thomas, Patient Contributor and Company Director, Team AM

Mark Stephenson, CEO, Reframe Cancer

12:15 Comfort break

12:30 Stream A

Quality & Safety making it meaningful for patients

This session will explore patient expectations around safety, where they look for information on quality, how they differentiate good care from poor care, and how providers and insurers can ensure information on quality and safety is meaningful but also accessible.

Chair Rachel Kelly, Legal Director in Healthcare and Public Law, Hill Dickinson

Anne Foster, Consultant Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgeon & Regional Medical Director (North), Spire Healthcare

Nicola Wise, Director of Secondary and Specialist Care, Care Quality Commission

Dr Suba M, Medical Director, Aviva

12:30 Stream B Mix & Match how easy is it for patients to move between NHS and private care?

The session will look at the NHS rules around combining NHS and private care; how they are applied in practice and whether that is changing as the NHS comes under increasing pressure. It will focus on demand for lower ticket items such as diagnostics and whether there has been an increase in patients looking for private diagnostics and NHS treatment as waiting lists rise. It will also look at whether it should be made easier for patients to move between sectors, the obstacles and the likely direction of travel.

Chair Hugh Risebrow, Director, Latchmore Associates

Danielle Henry, Director of Policy, Independent Healthcare Providers Network

Steve Martin, Managing Director, Vista Health

Marcus Taylor, Managing Director, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Private Care

Nick Dawson, Consultant, Nolo Consulting

13:15-14:15

Reimagining private healthcare designing services to meet shifting patient needs

How are independent sector providers adapting to changing patient needs and how are they designing new services in response to patient demand? Can new models encourage more people to consider private healthcare or are they just filling a gap in NHS services? What services are most in demand and is the way they are being delivered changing as more patients access the independent sector. How big an issue is pricing and is there an opportunity to develop lower cost services that make the sector more accessible to a wider audience?

Chair Benedict Heaver, Managing Director, Streets Heaver

Kirsty Phillips, Secondary Care MD, Practice Plus Group

Derrick Farrell, CEO, Vita Health Group (part of Spire Healthcare)

Sarah Melia, Managing Director, Bupa Health Services

Akeel Arshad, Managing Partner, OS LLP

AGENDA

14:15 Stream B

Is retention the new recruitment?

In a highly competitive recruitment landscape, has retaining staff become even more important for healthcare providers? Has the focus moved away from recruitment initiatives to retention strategies. Will the Employment Rights Bill increase the focus on retention? What are healthcare providers doing to hold on to their staff, what works and what doesn't? Why do people leave and what can providers do to make them stay? What do staff value most from their employer?

Chair Fiona McLellan, Employment Partner, Hill Dickinson

Jenny McKnight, Director of Learning and Circle Academy, Circle Health Group

Laura Bingham, Director, Reachout Medical

Lisa Jefferies, Chief People Officer, Ramsay Health Care

15:35 Recapturing private patients how London is reimagining healthcare and developing a new model for the UK

London has long been a global hub for clinical excellence, boasting world-class hospitals, renowned consultants, and an international reputation for quality care. Yet, despite these strengths, the city has punched below its weight in the competitive market for international patients. With growing momentum to position London as a premier healthcare destination both domestically and internationally, this session will examine how providers can collaborate effectively in an intensely competitive market. Topics include the potential for greater cooperation across the sector and the shift from standalone medical services to a more comprehensive health offering to meet the changing needs of private patients.
