NHS Health and Care Innovation Expo 2015

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.
