With the government promising a wide-ranging new policy package to support uptake and adoption of innovation in the NHS and ensure the UK continues to be a world leader in health tech, Insider’s conference will identify where the private sector can add value and be part of that ambition.

Featuring a keynote speech by Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Insider’s event homes in on the Northern Powerhouse’s role in the prediction, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

The conference takes these central themes and looks into where the Northern Powerhouse is already the world leader or has the opportunity to become so through the work already taking place around the region.

The agenda will examine the potential to export our expertise to other countries while conference speakers will translate government strategy into opportunities for regional businesses. We will look into how the Northern Powerhouse can play its part in improving patient outcomes and creating new industries over the next 20 years.
