1st-4th September 2015
This week I was fortunate enough to attend the Health and
Care Expo Event 2015 at Manchester Central which was hosted by NHS England. The
main theme of the event was the NHS Five Year Forward View 2014/2015 to
2018/2019. The event was showcasing some of the great, innovative work that has
been carried out so far and exploring the next steps that must be taken in
order to realise the vision of services that are provided within the NHS.
The event was split up into different areas; there were
large numbers of stands with all the exhibitors at the event showcasing all of
their achievements and providing lots of information regarding the services
they are providing. Also there were pop-up universities where experts were
providing targeted master-classes in all aspects of transformation including
‘Better care at less cost’ and ‘Managing conflicts of interest’ to name but a
few. In addition there were leading national and international speakers on two
stages; Future NHS stage and Innovate stage including the Secretary of State
for Health, Jeremey Hunt MP and NHS England Chief Executive, Simon Stevens, who
gave their unique perspectives and insights into their work and plans.
This was an extremely informative event and I took away a
lot of interesting information. It was very clear to see all the attendees at
the event were all extremely passionate about changing the way the NHS works
for the better, move towards a more innovative approach, and make lasting
improvements in both the experiences and the outcomes of the people the NHS
serves.
