Fostering Health Innovation Part 1

Brought to you by The Healthcare Group

Healthcare professionals at the leading edge of patient care remain frustrated in the struggle to take innovation from concept to completion. The reality of developing useful health tools that improve patient life and deliver an improved health service is one of overcoming many challenging obstacles

Registration for this event is now closed.

About the event

At this event, we have lined up an impressive line-up of leading clinicians to present and facilitate sessions focusing on three areas: Patient Safety, COPD and Diabetes, and Dementia. The aim is to identify how unmet clinical needs can be resolved by technology.

 

This inspiring and collaborative half-day event taking place in Cambridge will help the industry understand NHS needs and how technology in ‘real world’ scenarios can foster successful collaboration

 

Register now to secure your place for this exciting afternoon of practical insight and collaboration. 

 

Working together with our partners - the Eastern Academic Health Science Network and Health Enterprise East - we are bringing together an impressive line-up of prominent clinicians to lead three key sessions focusing on: Patient Safety, COPD and Diabetes, and Dementia. The aim is to explore and debate how impending clinical needs can be resolved by technology.

 

Each speaker will present an innovative idea and explain the clinical need and benefit.  Groups will then provide feedback to each speaker with the goal of creating a strategy for the realisation of the idea and to encourage cross discipline innovation.

This event is FREE to members of Cambridge Wireless and people working in the NHS or CUHP. Tickets for non-members are £180 plus VAT. To join Cambridge Wireless as a member and attend future events for free, please visit: www.cambridgewireless.co.uk/sign-up

Fostering Clinical Innovation in the NHS - Is the National Model Broken? Dr Peter Young, MD, Consultant in Critical Care, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Kings Lynn

The British are known for inventiveness yet the Americans make innovative ideas a reality. Innovators by necessity must be free thinkers and risk takers and to be effective must be released from the conservatism which embroils the activity of large institutions like the NHS. This talk examines a successful innovation model pioneered at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital with reference to a number of innovations.

Q&A

Developing Assistive Technology for People with Dementia: Do Nothing For Me Without Me; Dr Willie Cruickshank, Director Norfolk & Suffolk Dementia Alliance

Dr Cruickshank explores the ethical debate over the use of assistive technologies for people with dementia and the impact on its rate of adoption and growth. There is evidence that assistive technologies that facilitate and support formal care at home, show potential to support people with dementia to stay in their own home (substituting expensive professional care services). However, some people caution that some assistive technology that substitutes human contact can unfortunately promote the adverse effects of further isolation of people already excluded from social interaction. Furthermore, some technologies such as surveillance and monitoring can be seen by some as a source of potential intrusiveness, a threat to autonomy and even a breach of human rights. Often technologies have been designed without input from users and reflect the perceived needs of service providers rather than patients and their carers. Whether it’s developing services, support solutions or assistive technology, people with dementia and their carers must be empowered to contribute to the process.
