Thursday 26th  September (10:30am- 11:15am)

One of the key agenda items set out by the new health and social care secretary is to “make Britain a powerhouse for life sciences and medical technology”.

“If we can combine the care of the NHS and the genius of our country’s leading scientific minds, we can develop modern treatments for patients and help get Britain’s economy booming,” Wes Streeting said.

There are already research and NHS organisations partnering to deliver healthcare improvements for citizens. This HSJ webinar, in association with Snowflake, will look at the experience in north west London where the integrated care board and a research team based across Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare Trust have worked together along with Paddington Health Life Sciences to deliver information which can improve population health. It will ask:

  • What sort of system architecture is needed to enable partners to work together like this? How can additional costs be minimised, given the pressure on both revenue and capital in the NHS, without compromising on deliverability?
  • What are the technological and other challenges to sharing information between partners?
  • What sort of gains can be realised by collaboration and how can they be used to influence population health?
  • How can translational data analytics improve the quality of patient care?
  • How can this level of partnership work be replicated elsewhere?
