What is Health Innovation?✨Health innovation gets talked about constantly, but what does it mean if you are the one seeing patients, running the trial, building the product or working the floor?Come and hear from four people who approach it from completely different angles. A researcher on turning evidence into something usable. A clinician on spotting the problem worth solving. A business owner on what it takes to get a product into the health system. A health worker on why good ideas so often stall before they reach the ward.No jargon (OK, maybe some, but we'll explain it) and no pitch decks. Just four honest accounts of what worked, what does not and where the real barriers sit.✨Bring your questions. There will be plenty of time for them, followed by a networking lunch where the conversations usually get most interesting.📅 Order of Proceedings:12.00midday - Welcome 12.15 - Four short talks 12.55 - Open questions 13.15 - 14.00 Networking lunchWho should come: Everyone welcome.
