BUSINESS INFORMATION FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS – www.healthbusinessuk.net
On 28 September, the largest healthcare show in the UK will arrive at Olympia London, combining a first class conference, exhibition and networking forum all under one roof The UK Health Show is the leading learning and networking platform, bringing senior healthcare professionals and decision makers together for one day to help the NHS and the wider sector promote and improve service delivery for better healthcare outcomes across the UK. Taking account of current challenges facing the ever-changing healthcare sector, the conference puts local and place-based models of care at its heart. Merging several large events on the healthcare calendar, the UK Health Show brings together the well-established Healthcare Efficiency Through Technology (HETT) show, which has allowed innovative NHS uses of technology to be shared more widely. HETT has been combined with Commissioning in Healthcare, another flagship event in the sector, along with three entirely new streams on procurement, estates and cyber security, to provide a wide-reaching learning opportunity for NHS professionals in a single day. Now, as 2016 sees even greater evolution of an integrated healthcare system and cumulative pressures it faces, the show has sought to give today and tomorrow’s leaders the chance to address national priorities and their own local challenges that, collectively, underpin the future of the NHS.

Complimentary passes are available for public sector healthcare professionals and you need only register once to gain access to all five shows.

However, as transformation programmes set in and decision-making power is devolved to local leaders – the opportunity to overcome some of these challenges through integration, collaboration and innovative service delivery models is being pushed from all angles and requires an interactive platform to develop. New care models, as part of the NHS England vanguard programme, are moving from blueprint to reality and act as an inspirational catalyst for greater delivery of the Five Year Forward View’s vision. Population health and place-based models of care, alongside a greater focus on prevention and integration, are at the heart of the new care model vanguards and aim to reduce the demand on services, resources, workforce and funding.
