‘UK Health Camp is a healthcare-themed unconference. For those not familiar with the unconference style, it is like an event in which the agenda is built on the day by attendees, and each session tends to be a conversation rather than a presentation.
The healthcare sector faces unique challenges in the implementation of technology. Procurement frameworks tend to favour larger organisations at the expense of smaller, more innovative companies and the pace of change is slow. This was acknowledged with the publication of the Accelerated Access Review last October which addressed these issues. It called for a more innovative culture in the NHS and a broader remit for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Meanwhile, public confidence has been shaken by a series of high-profile project failures.
The aim of UK Health Camp unconference is to make both health and care services better for everyone involved – patients, carers and health professionals across the board and we’re very pleased to be this year’s Gold evening sponsors.’
UK Health Camp is coming to Manchester in 2018, taking place in Federation House.
